Shoulder surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on surgical procedures to address injuries, conditions, or diseases affecting the shoulder joint. This can include procedures to repair ligaments, tendons, and muscles in the shoulder, treat fractures or dislocations, remove damaged tissue, or replace the shoulder joint with a prosthetic device. Shoulder surgery may be performed to relieve pain, restore range of motion, improve stability, or address other issues impacting the function of the shoulder joint. Common types of shoulder surgery include rotator cuff repair, labral repair, shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder replacement, and shoulder stabilization procedures. The goal of shoulder surgery is to help patients regain function and mobility in their shoulder joint and improve their quality of life.
