Shoulder And Elbow Injuries And Conditions
Shoulder conditions • Shoulder treatments • Elbow conditions • Elbow treatments
Shoulder and elbow pain is very common, which is not surprising since you use your shoulders and arms for so many common tasks throughout the day.
There are a number of causes for shoulder and elbow pain, including arthritis, trauma, injury, sprains, strains, sports injuries and fractures.
Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of pain in the shoulder and elbow joints. As arthritis develops, the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones in a joint can wear away. Without the protective cartilage lining, the bones of the joints rub against each other, which is a major source of pain. Severe shoulder and elbow arthritis are other common causes for shoulder and elbow pain, and can also inhibit movement.
At St. Peters Bone & Joint Surgery, our physicians have specific expertise in a broad spectrum of shoulder, elbow and upper extremity problems, and they employ the latest in surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat these problems. Our fellowship-trained surgeon handles a comprehensive range of athletic, degenerative and traumatic disorders.
