A look into what an appointment with Dr. Brayford looks like 🩺

Here he is treating a patient with Rotator Cuff Arthropathy (shoulder arthritis that develops from a long-standing rotator cuff tear) πŸ’ͺ

Rather than opting for a shoulder replacement at this point, he's been treating this patient with occasional injections and a recommendation for physical therapy. Stay tuned for part 2 coming tomorrow to see how the rest of this appointment went πŸ‘€πŸ’‰

BTS with Dr. Phillip's πŸ‘€

What is a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty? ‡️

It’s a specialized shoulder replacement procedure designed for patients with severe arthritis, rotator cuff damage, or complex shoulder injuries.

By reversing the ball and socket structure of the shoulder, this procedure allows other muscles to restore stability, strength, and range of motion. πŸ’₯πŸ”πŸ’ͺ

πŸ‘‰ If shoulder pain or limited mobility is affecting your daily life, our orthopedic team is here to help.
