Tec Orthopedics offers advanced shoulder fracture surgery to help you regain pain-free function and return to your everyday tasks.
About Shoulder Fracture Surgery
Shoulder fracture surgery is a precise procedure used to treat broken bones in the shoulder. It involves realigning and stabilizing the fractured bones to ensure proper healing. This can address fractures in the clavicle, scapula, and humerus with accuracy and care.
Common Conditions Treated with Shoulder Fracture Surgery:
Broken clavicles can cause significant pain and impair shoulder function. Surgery can realign and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
Fractures in the scapula, or shoulder blade, can affect shoulder movement and strength. Surgical intervention can restore normal function.
Fractures near the top of the humerus can limit shoulder movement. Surgery can ensure proper alignment and recovery.
Multiple fractures or fractures involving joints may require surgery to restore full function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Shoulder Fracture Surgery:
Chronic pain that does not improve with rest or conservative treatments like splinting or medication.
Ongoing swelling and stiffness in the shoulder that limit your ability to move or use your arm.
Visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the shoulder, indicating a misaligned fracture.
Difficulty lifting, reaching, or performing everyday tasks due to the fracture.
Benefits of Shoulder Fracture Surgery
Shoulder fracture surgery offers several advantages, helping you regain shoulder function and return to your activities. Here’s how it can benefit you:
By addressing the fracture, surgery can significantly reduce or eliminate shoulder pain.
Post-surgery, you’ll likely experience better shoulder movement and strength, enabling you to use your arm more effectively.
The procedure ensures that bones heal in the correct position, preventing future complications and deformities.
Some fractures can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Shoulder Fracture Surgery Procedure
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to treat shoulder fractures effectively. Here’s a simplified overview of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the surgery.
The surgeon will make a small incision to access the fractured bones.
The bones are realigned and fixed in place using pins, screws, or plates as needed.
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape, and the shoulder is bandaged for protection.
Shoulder Fracture Surgery Recovery
Mild discomfort or soreness post-surgery can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your shoulder will be bandaged to protect the surgical site. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the shoulder.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and shoulder use will be guided by your surgeon.
