SHOULDER SURGERY

Your shoulder is a complex ball-and-socket joint made up of a number of bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments, which all work together to make shoulder movements possible.

​

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, but this flexibility also makes your shoulder more susceptible to injury and instability. When any of these components becomes overworked, unstable, or fractured, you may need shoulder surgery.

​

In many instances, Dr. Wusu first prescribes nonsurgical treatments and therapies to repair your shoulder. However, if pain and immobility continue, shoulder surgery may be necessary.
