What is Shoulder Instability?

Shoulder Instability occurs when the humeral head (ball of the shoulder) slides partially out of the glenoid (socket).

Biologics

Healing injuries involves a well orchestrated and complex series of events where proteins in the blood called growth factors act as messengers, regulating the entire process.

Knee

Inflammation

Pre-patellar bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, which sits between the patellar tendon and the skin. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that sits between muscle and skin and acts as a cushion.

Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of the knee joint. It can occur in any of the three compartments of the knee, the medial, lateral, or patellofemoral.

Tears

The ACL is a ligament that connects the femur, or thighbone, to the tibia, or leg bone. Its function is to keep the tibia from sliding too far forward on the femur. An ACL tear is a rupture of this ligament.
