Shoulder Stabilization

An injury or trauma to the shoulder may cause it to dislocate. An unstable shoulder may prevent normal function and potentially cause pain and long-term damage. As an orthopaedic surgeon with advanced fellowship training, Dr. Varkey can perform procedures to stabilize a shoulder joint. Dr. Varkey performs a number of shoulder stabilization surgeries, including: tightening up the joint capsule with a capsular shift, performing a Bankart repair to mend a torn labrum, or correcting bone loss with a Latarjet procedure.

Shoulder Replacement

As peope age, osteoarthritis can cause the cartilage covering the joint surfaces to wear out, resulting in pain and stiffness. A total shoulder replacement will be considered if other treatment options will not relieve the pain and disability. In shoulder replacement surgery, Dr. Varkey will remove the arthritic or damaged shoulder joint and replace it with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. This relieves pain and improves mobility. Dr. Varkey also performs Reverse Total Shoulder Replacements to qualified patients.

Arthroscopy:

Knee, Shoulder,, Elbow

In an arthroscopic examination, Dr. Varkey makes small incisions in the patient's skin and then inserts instruments that magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. This lets Dr. Varkey see the cartilage and ligaments to assess the injury and then correct the problem, if necessary. Candidates for arthroscopy include patients with chronic inflammation, tendon or ligament injuries, impingement syndrome, persistent pain, catching, giving way, loss of confidence in the joint, and recurrent dislocations.

ACL Reconstruction &

Knee Reconstruction

After a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament, a patient can experience instability and decreased function of the knee. Dr. Varkey can expertly reconstruct the ligament with a surgical tissue graft. After recovery, this can help return patients to the knee stability and function they enjoyed prior to injury.
