Shoulder

Physicians at Azalea Orthopedics are very experienced in treating complex as well as simple shoulder and elbow disorders. Every attempt is made to treat patients with shoulder and elbow problems in a conservative, non-operative fashion. When surgery is needed, however, the surgeons employ the latest arthroscopic and open techniques available.

Common conditions we treat include rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis of the shoulder, acromioclavicular arthritis, shoulder impingement syndrome (subacromial bursitis), traumatic and non-traumatic unidirectional and multidirectional instability (subluxations and dislocations), calcific tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), osteoarthritis of the elbow, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow), and capitellar osteochondrosis (little league elbow).
