Shoulder
The shoulder stands as one of the body’s most versatile and intricate joints, enabling a broad spectrum of movements crucial for everyday tasks. Yet, this very versatility renders the shoulder susceptible to an array of injuries and orthopedic ailments.
At McNamara Hand, we specialize in providing expert care for a diverse range of shoulder injuries and orthopedic issues. Under the guidance of Dr. Michael McNamara, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon renowned for his expertise in hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder care, our clinic is committed to delivering personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
At McNamara Hand, we understand the impact that wrist injuries can have on daily life. Our commitment to compassionate care, combined with state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment modalities, ensures that each patient receives the highest quality of care throughout their journey to recovery.
- Rotator Cuff Tears: Rotator cuff tears are a common shoulder injury that can occur due to repetitive overhead movements, trauma, or degenerative changes. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating rotator cuff tears using both conservative therapies and advanced surgical techniques, including arthroscopic repair, to restore strength and function to the shoulder.
- Shoulder Dislocations: Shoulder dislocations can result from sudden trauma or repetitive stress, causing the upper arm bone (humerus) to move out of the shoulder socket. Our clinic offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for shoulder dislocations, including reduction techniques and rehabilitation to prevent future instability and recurrence.
- Labral Tears: Labral tears are injuries to the cartilage ring (labrum) that surrounds the shoulder socket, often resulting from trauma or repetitive overhead activities. Our multidisciplinary team provides individualized treatment plans for labral tears, incorporating both non-surgical options and minimally invasive surgical procedures to restore stability and function to the shoulder joint.
- Shoulder Arthritis: Arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that can impact daily activities. Our clinic offers a range of treatment options, including medications, injections, and surgical interventions such as shoulder replacement surgery, to manage symptoms and improve joint health for patients with shoulder arthritis.
Total Shoulder Replacement: For individuals with severe shoulder arthritis or irreparable damage to the shoulder joint, total shoulder replacement surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components to alleviate pain and restore function. Dr. McNamara specializes in total shoulder replacement surgery, utilizing advanced techniques and implants to provide optimal outcomes and improved quality of life for patients with debilitating shoulder conditions.
We understand the profound impact that shoulder injuries can have on your quality of life. Our commitment to compassionate care, combined with state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment modalities, ensures that each patient receives the highest quality of care throughout their journey to recovery.
