About Shoulder Reconstruction Surgery

Shoulder reconstruction surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to restore stability, function, and strength to a damaged shoulder joint. It is commonly performed to address severe injuries such as complex dislocations, rotator cuff tears, or instability from ligament damage. The surgery may involve repairing torn tendons, reattaching ligaments, or using grafts to rebuild the joint's supportive structures. This procedure aims to alleviate chronic pain, improve range of motion, and prevent recurrent dislocations, allowing patients to return to daily activities and sports. It is typically recommended when conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication have failed to provide relief.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
