Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint. The benefits of arthroscopy are smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.

Positive self belief key to recovery from shoulder pain

Positive self belief is the key to recovery from pain, say Uresearchers. The research team studied over 1,000 people undergoing physiotherapy for shoulder pain. They found that people are more likely to recover if they have the confidence to carry on doing most things, despite their pain. Those who expected physiotherapy would help them were likely to recover more than those who expected minimal or no benefit.

Patient Reviews

I freaking love this man. He was my surgeon when I was 15 years old. I had broken fibula and torn the ligaments in my ankle. i was down for nearly 6 months, but Dr. E, as I call him, took very good care of me. being 15 at the time, my favorite part about the whole ordeal was that after surgery number 2. He gave me option of keeping them which I still have today, nearly 6 years later. In total Dr. E performed 2 surgeries, the first being drilling a metal plate onto my fibula and holding it with 7 screws/pins and inside my ankle he placed another 2 screws/pins. 3 months later, he went back in my ankle and replaced those 2 screws with smaller ones, so I wouldn't have any complications down the road, which I am happy to say thus far I haven't. Dr E was the first surgeon I have ever had seeing as I have never been sick before/injured before, so of course I was nervous, but he made my experience wonderful with his caring touch.
After Dr. Elkousy repaired my daughter's ACL LCL torn knee so beautifully, I went back to him first thing when my son broke his collarbone in a snowboarding incident. Once again we experienced an extremely positive pre-surgical and surgical experience with Dr. Elkousy and Fondren Orthopedic Group. The administration / staff / nurses / pa and doctor were attentive, caring, professional and talented - would definitely use him again. He has a peaceful, kind and very knowledgeable / professional demeanor. I highly recommend him for knee and shoulder injuries. The construction of the building was somewhat off-putting as it shut down one elevator, but the lobby staff were very kind and helpful and worked hard to help people get where they needed to be, and showed us other stairs and elevators to keep the interior traffic flowing.
