The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which is why it is prone to dislocation, instability, rotator cuff tears, tendinitis, acromioclavicular joint injuries and arthritis. Dr. Emeel Hourani, consultant orthopedic and sports medicine surgeon in Amman, treats these problems with non-surgical care, arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery or joint replacement when needed. Every plan starts with an accurate, individual diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions

When should I see an orthopedic surgeon about shoulder pain?

See a doctor if pain continues despite rest, wakes you at night, comes with weakness when lifting the arm, or follows an injury or fall. Also get checked if the shoulder feels unstable or slips out of place.

Do all shoulder problems need surgery?

No. Many shoulder problems improve with rest, activity changes and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered when non-surgical care is not enough or the injury is severe, and the decision is made after an examination.

Does Dr. Hourani treat shoulder dislocation arthroscopically?

Yes. Shoulder dislocation is a focus of his practice, and stabilisation is performed arthroscopically when it is needed. Arthroscopy is done through small incisions, and your surgeon will explain whether it suits you.
