Rotator Cuff Surgery from Orthopedic Specialists in the Louisville, KY, Area

Rotator cuff surgery is one of our many specialties at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, a network of fully equipped orthopedic centers located throughout the Louisville, Kentucky, area. Unlike larger, more “corporate” centers, Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic is an independently owned practice that provides attentive, individualized care to adolescents, adults, and seniors with a variety of musculoskeletal issues, from sports injuries to osteoarthritis.

Rotator cuff surgery usually involves repairing a torn rotator cuff — the group of muscles and tendons that keep the arm securely into the shoulder socket. Tears can develop in the rotator cuff as a result of repeated overhead motions, such as those performed by baseball or softball players and professionals like painters and contractors. Our knowledgeable surgeons in the Louisville, KY, area perform traditional rotator cuff operations as well as minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to address rotator cuff tears in patients with various needs.

In addition to surgical rotator cuff repair, Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic also provides non-surgical therapies for less extensive rotator cuff injuries and other uncomfortable shoulder conditions. Our physicians collaborate with our on-site physical therapists and sports medicine specialists to ensure each of our patients receives well-rounded care and can return to the activities they enjoy as quickly as possible.

If your shoulder pain does not improve with self-care measures like rest and over-the-counter medication, we encourage you to contact Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic in the Louisville, KY, area. One of our specialists can evaluate your condition, identify any injuries, and suggest appropriate treatment options. In the event that rotator cuff surgery is recommended, we’ll walk you through every step of the process and help you make a confident decision about your joint health.
