A recent story about orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Christopher O’Grady has been featured in more than 1,100 daily and weekly newspapers nationwide, sharing his expertise in a new minimally invasive rotator cuff procedure that not only repairs injured shoulder tendons but can potentially help thicken and strengthen them.
Fortunately, when properly diagnosed and treated the vast majority of shoulder problems are treated successfully without surgery. This is especially true of rotator cuff problems. However, in many cases, it is important to have an orthopaedic surgeon evaluate the problem in order to make sure something more serious is not the cause of the shoulder pain.
