In 1998, Dr. Frankle of Florida Orthopaedic Institute carried out the first reverse shoulder replacement in the USA, here in Tampa bay. An injury to the top of the shoulder is an AC joint injury. It is likewise useful for patients who have had an unsuccessful overall shoulder substitute.
The AC joint is where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula). Most individuals are able to self-diagnose the injury with symptoms consisting of swelling, pain, and lack of ability to relocate the joint. During this treatment, the surgeon replaces a damaged shoulder joint with synthetic parts that turn around the framework of the shoulder.
Shoulder pain can be the outcome of swelling and wear and tear to the ligament due to overuse, injury, and aging. This treatment is most often utilized for clients who have actually had a full tear of the rotator cuff, particularly when those whose injuries have actually led to an arthritic condition called cuff tear arthropathy.
Atraumatic shoulder instability is a condition when the shoulder starts to slide component way out of the shoulder joint without having a substantial injury. A put tear is an injury to the ring of cartilage surrounding the socket of the shoulder joint (the labrum).
A typical shoulder injury, a clavicle fracture is a break of the bone that rests in between the shoulder blade and the sternum, typically called the collarbone. Dr. Mark Frankle talks about Reverse Shoulder Surgical treatment and how this state-of-the-art technology is aiding his people return to function and a far better lifestyle.
