Orthopaedic Surgery: Clinical Excellence

Areas of Expertise: Shoulder & Elbow Reconstruction

I provide advanced surgical and non-surgical management for a wide range of complex upper extremity conditions. My approach combines decades of clinical experience with the latest minimally invasive techniques to ensure the fastest and most effective recovery possible.

• Shoulder Reconstruction: Specialized care for rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, and advanced osteoarthritis (Total and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty).
• Elbow Reconstruction: Management of complex fractures, post-traumatic stiffness, and inflammatory arthritis.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Utilizing advanced arthroscopic techniques to treat joint issues with less tissue disruption, leading to reduced postoperative pain and accelerated recovery.

Innovative Recovery: The CPM Advantage

A hallmark of my clinical practice is the pioneering use of Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) for the management of the stiff elbow. Following complex arthroscopic procedures, I utilize CPM to:

• Prevent the recurrence of scar tissue.
• Safely increase the range of motion in the immediate postoperative period.
• Accelerate the timeline for functional restoration.

This "implementation-first" approach ensures that the precision of the operating room is matched by the efficiency of the recovery phase.
