Can you identify this fracture? 🔍
Fracture patterns vary widely — from transverse to oblique, spiral, comminuted, and more. Spotting the type on an X-ray helps guide the right treatment plan and supports faster, safer healing.
At Frisco Shoulder Clinic, we use precise imaging and expert orthopedic evaluation to classify fractures accurately — so we can develop a personalized plan that restores strength, alignment, and function. Understanding fracture types isn’t just academic … it’s essential for effective recovery.

Dr. Paul J. Ghattas, a leading orthopedic surgeon in Frisco, specializes in advanced shoulder procedures including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, revision surgery, and tendon repair. His focus is on helping patients reduce pain, restore mobility, and return to active lifestyles through personalized, patient-centered care. Rotator cuff tears—caused by injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration—can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion, making early evaluation important.

Not every rotator cuff tear requires surgery. Many patients improve with conservative treatments like rest and physical therapy. However, surgical intervention may be recommended for larger tears, persistent pain, loss of function, or failed prior repairs. Dr. Ghattas carefully evaluates each case, using imaging and clinical assessment to determine the most effective path forward for long-term recovery.

When surgery is needed, options may include minimally invasive arthroscopic repair, open procedures for more complex tears, or revision surgery for prior failed repairs. These approaches are designed to relieve pain, restore strength, and improve function. With proper rehabilitation, many patients can return to daily activities and even sports within a few months, achieving lasting results and improved quality of life.

Recovery after arthroscopy can vary depending on the specific procedure and the condition being treated, but many patients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks. Minimally invasive techniques often allow for less postoperative discomfort and a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional surgery. Full recovery, including strength and range of motion, is typically achieved over several weeks to a few months with the help of guided physical therapy.

In some cases, surgical incisions can be closed using a specialized medical adhesive and mesh system instead of traditional staples or dressings. This approach helps protect the incision, allows patients to shower, and naturally comes off as the skin heals over time. Proper closure with minimal tension is key to promoting healing and reducing the risk of noticeable scarring.
