Shoulder replacement surgery is a highly effective treatment option for individuals suffering from chronic shoulder pain, arthritis, or severe fractures that limit mobility and reduce quality of life. This blog will explore the key differences between anatomic shoulder replacement and reverse total shoulder replacement, helping you understand which option might be right for you.

What is a Patellar Dislocation? A patellar dislocation occurs when the kneecap (patella) moves out of its normal groove on the femur (thigh bone), typically shifting to the outside of the knee. This injury is most common in young athletes but can affect individuals of any age. Dislocations can happen due to trauma, such as a fall or sports injury, or because of anatomical predispositions like shallow trochlear grooves or ligament laxity.

What Is a Meniscus Tear? A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that affects the cartilage between the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). Each knee has two menisci—medial and lateral—that act as shock absorbers and help stabilize the joint. Tears often occur during sports or physical activity but can also result from wear and degeneration over time.
