Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
The Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Section at AMC Department of Orthopedic Surgery is a high-volume, specialized center dedicated to the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of shoulder and elbow disorders. With internationally trained faculty and a comprehensive clinical infrastructure, our division is a regional leader in advanced arthroscopic, reconstructive, and joint replacement procedures. We treat a wide range of shoulder and elbow conditions, from rotator cuff tears and impingement syndromes to complex revision surgeries and traumatic injuries. Our division is especially recognized for managing severe shoulder deformities, massive rotator cuff tears, and recurrent dislocations that require bone augmentation procedures.
Our surgical expertise includes:
- Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and labral reconstruction
- Total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty
- Elbow arthroplasty and ligament reconstruction
The multidisciplinary environment of Asan Medical Center allows our team to collaborate with radiology, rehabilitation medicine, oncology, and internal medicine to optimize patient outcomes. Preoperative planning using advanced imaging and patient-specific protocols ensures tailored care for every patient.
In addition to clinical excellence, our section is a leader in education and research. We host international fellows, offer surgical workshops, and actively contribute to global orthopedic societies. Our faculty members have published extensively in high-impact journals, advancing innovation in shoulder and elbow surgery.
We are committed not only to achieving surgical success but also to restoring function, alleviating pain, and enhancing long-term quality of life for our patients.
