Disorders affecting the shoulder and elbow have a substantial impact on daily activities, recreation, sports performance, and quality of life. The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, which makes it susceptible to instability and injury, and also affects the entire upper extremity.  For these reasons, shoulder and elbow surgery has become a highly subspecialized field.  In 2008, our surgeons at Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic performed over 1,900 shoulder and elbow surgery procedures.
At Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, we have fellowship-trained physicians in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery who treat all types of conditions with the latest techniques.  Fellowship training is the most advanced training you can have in the orthopedic subspecialties.  Whether you have sustained an acute injury, have a long-standing problem that has not improved with conservative care, or have continued problems after a previous shoulder or elbow operation, we can help restore your comfort, function, and quality of life.
