Penn Shoulder and Elbow Service
The Penn Shoulder and Elbow Service is recognized
as a regional, national and international leader
for patient care. To enhance patients' mobility,
increase their independence, and improve their
quality of life, the team creates and utilizes
the latest advances in shoulder and elbow diagnosis,
treatment and rehabilitation.
Penn Shoulder and Elbow Service physicians recognize
that no two patients are alike - and neither are
their shoulder and elbow conditions. We are dedicated
to treating every condition that affects the shoulder
and elbow, including:
- Degenerative conditions (such as arthritis)
- Trauma
- Sports injuries
- Bone and joint infections
- Rotator cuff tears
- Tumors
- Joint instability
- Disease
Our experienced, multidisciplinary team includes:
- Orthopaedic surgeons
- Rehabilitation physicians
- Family practice physicians
- Physical therapists
- Physician assistants
Patients who require surgery benefit from the
most current, minimally invasive arthroscopic
and reconstructive techniques. Arthroscopic surgery
benefits patients because it results in minimal
scarring, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster
recovery. When needed, we also provide patients
with technological innovations in materials, design,
and insertion of prostheses.
The Penn Shoulder and Elbow Service offers rehabilitation
services that provide patients with a comprehensive,
"one-stop-shopping" approach to recovery.
Physical therapy experts
specialize in current shoulder and elbow techniques
designed to help patients resume their normal
activities as quickly and safely as possible.
The team's surgeons are board-certified members
of the American Society for Shoulder and Elbow
Surgery and the American Society of Orthopaedic
Surgeons. They have written hundreds of articles
for medical journals and contributed to some of
the most prestigious orthopaedic textbooks in
America. The Penn Shoulder and Elbow Service serves
as a referral center for complicated cases and
its surgeons are considered among the most elite
shoulder and elbow specialists.
