Shoulder and Elbow

California Pacific Orthopedics and Sports Medicine can assist is determining if shoulder orthopedic surgery is required or if other treatments are appropriate.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and its proper function is essential for all our daily activities. At California Pacific Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, our physicians treat the entire spectrum of shoulder injuries, including tendonitis, tendon tears, complex fractures and dislocations, and advanced arthritis. Our physicians are skilled at providing an accurate diagnosis, using a precise clinical examination, and the diagnostic testing, such as x-ray and MRI to help create an individual treatment plan for each patient. Treatment options may include physical therapy and medical management, such as oral medication or injections, and, if necessary, surgery. At California Pacific Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, we continue to be on the forefront of new techniques in arthroscopic and replacement surgery, including the reversed total shoulder. This replacement can be used to restore function in shoulder conditions which were previously untreatable. If your shoulder is holding you back, visit one of our shoulder specialists at CPOSM so that we can help you get “mobilized” again.

The elbow is a unique hinge joint which combines the benefits of flexion and rotation to help place one’s hand in a position of use. This elegant motion/movement requires the proper function of all of the elbow’s component parts. The physicians at CPOSM treat all injuries to the elbow including tendonitis and tendon tears, fractures and dislocations, and arthritis. We provide in-office x-ray and MRI making the diagnosis of many elbow problems more accurate and efficient. Treatment options that may be utilized include physical therapy, injections, and surgery. Our physicians provide state of the art arthroscopic and open surgical techniques to address the most complex elbow pathology. If your elbow is rubbing you the wrong way, make an appointment with the physicians at CPOSM and let us help you with your elbow problem.
