- Shoulder surgery
As the shoulder is the most complex and unstable joint in the body, it can get injured easily. Many surgeries have been developed to repair the muscles, connective tissue or damaged joints that can arise from traumatic or overuse injuries to the shoulder.

Dislocated Shoulder

* Arthroscopic Repairs
** repair of theGlenoid Labrum (anterior or posterior)
** repair of thecapsular ligament s (Bankart repair)
** repair of the biceps long head anchor or SLAP lesion
** tightening of the shoulder capsule (capsulorrhaphy or capsular shift)
* Open Repairs (for dislocations with fractures, etc.)Separated shoulder

Weaver-Dunn procedure
* Weaver-Dunn with various additional fixations (sutures , suture anchors, tendonautograft ) to replace thecoracoclavicular ligament s. Note: various methods have been utilized to anchor the clavicle in place while the surgery heals. This includes
** Dacron graft/loop
** Bosworth screw
** Kirschner wires
** Hook plate [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11822073&dopt=Abstract]
* Anatomic Repair, or any repair using tendonallograft without sacrificing thecoracoacromial ligament .
* Arthroscopic Weaver-Dunn
* Transfer of conjoined tendon and distal end ofcoracoid process to the clavicleternoclavicular Separation
Surgeries exist but the procedures may not be popular enough to be given any nameIt appears treatment of this condition may be highly controversial.
