Shoulder / Upper Extremity

Oak Cliff Orthopaedic Associates performs all levels of surgery in those patients suffering from upper extremity problems.  Conservative treatment is first attempted including rest, medications, physical therapy, and steroid injections, before our doctors resort to an operation.  Our doctors treat all upper extremity ailments including tendonitis, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome and other hand problems. With the advent of the arthroscope, advancements are becoming available allowing our doctors to use less invasive procedures and incisions in an effort to minimize the trauma as well as improve the cosmetic appearance postoperatively.  Upper extremity problems can be very debilitating and we will do all we can to offer advice, treatment, and surgery if necessary to help our patients.
