About Shoulder & Elbow Orthopaedic Care

If you're going about your daily activities and a sudden twist or pull causes a sharp pain in your shoulder, it's time to call UR Medicine's Orthopaedics & Physical Performance. Stiffness, pain, a limited range of motion, and weakness in your shoulder are all signs of an injury that requires medical attention—and the sooner the better.

At UR Medicine's Orthopaedics & Physical Performance, we see every kind of shoulder and elbow problem, from sports injuries to osteoarthritis. Most of these issues can be treated with minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, using small incisions and a tiny camera to find the source of the problem and repair it quickly. When arthritis or multiple injuries require more complex surgery, our surgeons put their decades of experience to work, performing everything from tendon transfers to full shoulder joint replacements.
