Shoulder Repair

Shoulder damage can come from an acute injury or overuse. Damage typically affects the joint, but the rotator cuff, which is a group of tendons surrounding the joint, can also be damaged. When any part of the shoulder is damaged, the joint can become unstable. Your doctor may recommend surgery that uses a biologic implant to treat shoulder damage.

Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic and metal implants, and unlike synthetic and metal implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body.

It is important to discuss questions or concerns with your physician before your surgery.
