This 59 year old gentleman presented with unrelenting shoulder pain which was progressively getting worse. He reported no prior trauma and was finding it difficult to undertake activities of daily living and unable to jog. He required pain killers and elected to proceed with key-hole surgery given his lack of improvement with non-surgical treatment.
He underwent an Arthroscopy (Key-hole) of the left shoulder and the calcium deposit in the Supraspinatus Tendon was removed entirely. The tendon was stable at the end of surgery and did not require treatment. He used a sling for 2 weeks and commenced immediate range of motion as tolerated using the JPL protocol.
Enquiries between 8am-6pm (Mon-Fri) will be responded to within 30-60 minutes.
