Sarah slipped on ice while biking home from work landing on her shoulder in 2010. She underwent therapy elsewhere which failed, leaving her with severe loss of motion. Her MRI confirmed both her frozen shoulder and, unfortunately, a rotator cuff tear. This makes it challenging since the treatment for frozen shoulder requires immediate, extensive mobilization but for rotator cuff repair, a more limited approach.
She underwent rotator cuff repair and debridement of the scar tissue. An articular cartilage lesion was found at surgery and repaired.
Three months after surgery she had regained 50% of motion and continued to improve over the next year, going on to complete the Alcatraz Swim with the Centurions race across the infamous Alcatraz Channel in San Francisco.

Dr. Stone employs the latest techniques for outpatient arthroscopic tissue repair, reducing risk by using a local anesthetic and a minimally invasive surgical technique to repair full or partial tears.
This repair, combined with anabolic therapy and carefully-guided, early physical therapy sessions, allows patients to recover more quickly and restore a fuller range of motion to the injured shoulder.
