The usual treatment for shoulder injuries is surgical options.

Explanation:

The usual treatment for shoulder injuries is non-surgical options such as medications, bracing and physiotherapy. Shoulder surgery is generally only explored if the non-operative options fail.

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries.

Explanation:

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (otherwise known as keyhole surgery) can be a good option for some patients. It is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries, and enables surgeons to introduce a fiber optic camera through a two- to three- millimeter incision.

For more severe shoulder injuries, surgeons may recommend a reverse shoulder replacement surgery.

Explanation:

For more severe shoulder injuries, surgeons may recommend a reverse shoulder replacement surgery. It is often done to repair rotator cuff tendons that have been damaged, often by arthritis.

Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations may won't benefit from surgical reconstruction, only from non-surgical options.

Explanation:

Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations may benefit from surgical reconstruction of the damaged tissues in the shoulder joint. This usually involves an arthroscopic day procedure, where the surgeon identifies the torn labrum or ligaments that have occurred with each shoulder dislocation.

Following shoulder surgery, most patients will benefit from physiotherapy.

Explanation:

Following shoulder surgery, most patients will benefit from physiotherapy to get their range of motion back, decrease pain and increase strength.

Wrist tendonitis can affect any of the muscles that run from the forearm up into the hand because they form tendons in this region here.
