Questions about shoulder procedures
- Which shoulder procedure is right for me?
- It depends on what the exam and ultrasound show. A stiff capsule, a calcium deposit, a worn tendon, and an arthritic joint each call for a different approach, and many people improve with rehab alone. Your physician explains the options after the first visit.
- Can a rotator cuff tear be treated without surgery?
- Many partial tears and tendon problems improve with rehab, and orthobiologic injections such as PRP can support healing of small partial tears. Large full-thickness tears in active people may need a surgeon, and we refer when that is the better path.
- Is hyaluronic acid approved for the shoulder?
- Hyaluronic acid is FDA-approved for knee arthritis. Physicians sometimes use it in the shoulder, and if it comes up for you, we review the evidence, cost, and alternatives before you decide.
