When an earlier shoulder operation has not held: continuing pain, weakness or instability.
Failed Shoulder Surgery Treatment
A shoulder operation that has not held shows itself as continuing pain, weakness or instability. There are several reasons it happens, and working out which one applies is most of what the assessment is for, because the point is to establish why the first operation failed rather than simply to do it again. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, assesses shoulders after previous surgery and performs revision surgery where it is indicated.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Does a failed repair always need another operation?
No. Some shoulders that are painful or stiff after surgery do better with a properly directed course of therapy than with more surgery, and distinguishing the two is what the assessment is for.
Why does the condition of the muscle matter?
A muscle that has changed after a long-standing tear will not recover its function even if the tendon is reattached. That is why imaging looks at the muscle and not only at the tendon.
Will the result be as good as a first operation?
A revision is harder and less predictable. Dr. Abbasi will tell you what he expects in your case before you decide.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
