The highly experienced surgeons of Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre have been performing shoulder surgery for the Perth community for over 30 years.

The shoulder is a ball and socket joint that has a very wide range of movement, and allows us to position our hand effectively in space to perform many tasks. It has many muscles and tendons that cross it allowing us to perform complex movements wiht the upper limb. Injury to the ball and socket itself, the muscles and tendons around the shoulder can all results in painful conditions and disability.
