Shoulder specialists at Duke Orthopaedics offer precise and skilled surgery to relieve debilitating pain caused by arthritis, fracture, ligament and tendon injury, and other orthopaedic shoulder injuries.

Diagnosis

Our orthopaedic providers are experts at recognizing patients who would benefit from shoulder surgery.

We use a variety of diagnostic tools, including office-based ultrasounds, x-rays, and MRIs to diagnose the cause of the pain and determine a surgical solution.

Deciding on Surgery

Nearly all of our shoulder surgeries are done as an outpatient surgery with regional anesthesia. Patients are able to return home the same day and often have a speedy recovery.

Shoulder surgeries offered at Duke Orthopaedics include:

• Clavicle fracture surgery
• Rotator cuff repair
• Shoulder instability surgery
• Shoulder replacement surgery

In addition to these specialized surgeries, Duke shoulder surgeons are known for providing state-of-the-art revision surgery for people who have had unsuccessful shoulder surgery.

Exceptional Follow-Up Care

After undergoing shoulder surgery at Duke, patients are referred to our expert physical therapy program to continue rehabilitation and ensure the long-term success of the surgery.
