Shoulder Disorders

We use them for them for throwing, lifting, combing our hair and hundreds of other acts we take for granted. Yet four million Americans seek medical help each year for various problems with their shoulders. Akron General's Orthopedic Center leads the way in finding innovative new ways to treat shoulder disorders, especially shoulder fracture. One of our skilled surgeons helped design the first prosthesis made specifically for shoulder fractures - an injury common among elderly adults.

Our staff is skilled treating:

• Shoulder Instability
• Shoulder Fractures
• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Calcium Deposits
• Tendon Tears

Patients are usually referred to an orthopedic surgeon by their physician. Talk to your physician about treatment options that are right for you and about choosing an orthopedic specialist.
