We all shoulder lots of responsibilities each and every day. Literally. And sometimes, whether from arthritis, sports injury, bone and joint infection or disease, our shoulders and elbows might become afflicted and tender with pain. The result is often reduced mobility, loss of independence and a lower quality of life.

Count on the orthopaedic experts at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital to provide the finest diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services for virtually any shoulder and elbow problems. Our surgeons, specialists in rehabilitation and musculoskeletal conditions, radiologists, physical and occupational therapists and others work as a team to provide the very best treatment and care – for anyone at any age – who may suffer from ailments including:

• Rotator cuff tears
• Impingement syndrome
• Bursa formations
• Arthritis

In every case, our goal is to take each patient as an individual – and to devise treatment and rehabilitation plans that meet his or her needs best. It's all about one thing: helping our patients return to an active lifestyle as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
