Shoulder Surgery: Restoring Mobility and Relieving Pain

Shoulder surgery is a medical procedure that can bring relief to individuals experiencing a range of shoulder-related issues, from chronic pain to injuries and degenerative conditions. In this article, we'll explore the various aspects of shoulder surgery, its common types, and what patients can expect during the process.

Common Types of Shoulder Surgery:

Rotator Cuff Repair: Rotator cuff tears are a prevalent cause of shoulder pain. Surgery involves stitching or reattaching the torn tendons to restore function.

Labrum Repair: The labrum is a cartilage ring that stabilizes the shoulder joint. Surgery may be needed to repair labral tears, often caused by overuse or injury.

Shoulder Arthroscopy: This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to diagnose and treat various shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff tears, impingement, and loose cartilage.

Shoulder Replacement: In cases of severe joint damage due to arthritis or injury, total or partial shoulder replacement surgery can alleviate pain and restore mobility.

Preparing for Surgery:

Consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is the first step. The surgeon will evaluate your condition, discuss surgical options, and provide pre-operative instructions.

Pre-operative preparations may include fasting before surgery, discontinuing certain medications, and arranging for post-operative care.

The Surgical Procedure:

Shoulder surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you're comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Surgeons use specialized instruments to access and repair the affected area, often through small incisions, minimizing scarring.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

Post-surgery, you'll spend time in a recovery area to monitor vital signs and manage any immediate discomfort.

Physical therapy is essential for regaining shoulder strength and range of motion. It helps prevent stiffness and ensures a quicker return to normal activities.

Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery but generally range from a few weeks to several months.

Potential Risks and Complications:

Like any surgical procedure, shoulder surgery carries risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Adhering to post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments can help minimize these risks.

Long-Term Benefits:

Successful shoulder surgery can significantly improve your quality of life by reducing pain and restoring mobility.

Patients often regain the ability to perform daily activities, enjoy hobbies, and return to work without shoulder-related limitations.

Woohoo! Shoulder Surgery is happening! Well 3 of them actually.

Bicep Tendonesis to fix a SLAP tear. They'll disconnect the tendon from the labrum and attack it to the humerus so it stops popping in and out of the groove and getting caught on things.

Distal clavicle excision where they will basically cut off the shoulder end of the clavicle where it forms the AC joint. It's deformed from arthritis and rubbing causing more damage.

And finally he'll look at the rotator cuff partial thickness tear that showed on my MRI. If it's closed, and the tendon is still healthy he'll close up and leave it alone. If it hasn't he'll complete the tear, make clean edges and reattach it.

He said we could try physical therapy and anti inflammatory meds but I've been doing that for almost 6 months now, so I told him I'd take the surgery. So sometime in February I'll be in a sling but able to heal and move on.

Mike’s 12 successful orthopedic surgeries

Mike’s 12 successful orthopedic surgeries

“I had just parked my motorcycle on the side of the road when a car crashed into me and sent me flying,” recalls Mike, explaining the reason for one of his many orthopedic surgeries. How many surgeries has Mike had in the 28 years he spent as a California Highway Patrolman (CHP)? A dozen.

When Mike joined the CHP in his early 20s, he knew it would be dangerous, but he probably didn’t know just how dangerous. According to the California Association of Highway Patrolmen, more than 200 officers have been killed on the job since the CHP was formed, and countless more have been injured. And it’s becoming even more dangerous over the years; in 2010 alone, five CHP officers died from injuries.

But Mike, now retired, is fortunate that none of his injuries were life-threatening, and he’s been in very capable hands. Since 1988, he has been treated by Thomas Kula, Jr., MD, one of the top spine surgeons in the Bay Area.

“Every spine surgery has been with Dr. Kula at El Camino Hospital Los Gatos,” says Mike, who adds, “It’s always a fantastic experience from start to finish.”

Mike first came to Dr. Kula when he was having neck pain and his regular doctor wasn’t sure what to do. Dr. Kula told Mike he had a disc injury he sustained on the job. (Over the years, Mike has been run over twice during the line of duty and sustained an additional injury dragging a dead deer off the highway).

During this first surgery, Dr. Kula fused the injured discs in his neck so that Mike could return to work without pain. And, since that day, Mike has had four additional spine surgeries with Dr. Kula, including a laminectomy (decompression surgery) to relieve pressure on his spinal cord.

“I’ve probably had a surgery every few years or so,” says Mike. “Besides the spine surgeries, I’ve also had knee and shoulder surgeries with another surgeon who specializes in joints.”

As someone who has been through so many operations, Mike has lots of terrific advice for patients: Ask lots of questions, talk to other patients and make sure you have a surgeon you trust. Mike says it also helps to have an experienced team taking care of you.

“Dr. Kula has worked with the same nurses and physical therapists for years, and Pam in registration is always there to help me through it all.”

Mike still travels all the way from his home in Santa Rosa to see the doctor he calls his “hero.”

Well, Mike, we think you’re the true hero here. Thank you for keeping us safe on the road, and we wish you all the best in your retirement, which we hope will be injury-free!
