Lateral elbow pain often involves more than one structure.
Wrist mechanics, forearm muscles, and shoulder movement all influence stress at the elbow.
Treating only the pain location can miss the real cause.
A comprehensive orthopedic evaluation helps guide accurate diagnosis and lasting relief.

In many cases, shoulder and upper extremity pain can improve with the right conservative treatment plan. In this video, Dr. Paul Ghattas discusses how anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, ice, and rest can work together to reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, and support healing.

These non-surgical options are often an important first step in treatment and can help patients return to daily activities with improved strength, mobility, and confidence. Dr. Ghattas focuses on creating personalized care plans that match each patient’s condition and goals.

If shoulder, elbow, or upper extremity pain is affecting your lifestyle, expert evaluation can help determine the right next step.

The elbow and forearm rely on a complex network of arteries, veins, and nerves to support strength, motion, and sensation.
Injury or compression in this system can lead to pain, weakness, or numbness.
Accurate diagnosis is essential before deciding on treatment.
Advanced imaging and clinical evaluation help identify the true source of symptoms — ensuring care is targeted and effective.

Shoulder arthritis can gradually limit your strength, range of motion, and everyday comfort. The good news is that many patients find meaningful relief through conservative care, especially in mild to moderate cases. Treatment may include rest and activity modification, ice or heat therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and improve mobility.

When symptoms become more severe, or when cartilage damage and rotator cuff issues are involved, advanced treatment options may be needed. These can include minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to address damaged tissue, as well as shoulder replacement surgery when arthritis has progressed significantly.

Dr. Paul Ghattas is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder arthroscopy and advanced shoulder care. His goal is to provide the most effective treatment plan for each patient while helping restore function and reduce recovery time whenever possible.

If shoulder pain or stiffness is affecting your daily life, expert evaluation can help determine the right next step.

The rotator cuff may be small, but it plays a critical role in shoulder stability.
Weakness or imbalance increases injury risk and limits function during daily activities and sports.
Early evaluation helps protect shoulder health and prevent progression.

Raising your arm isn’t just about strength — it’s about balance.
If stabilizing shoulder muscles don’t engage properly, the humeral head shifts upward, narrowing space and increasing tendon friction.
Over time, this leads to rotator cuff damage and pain.
At Dallas Shoulder Clinic, shoulder pain is evaluated to identify both mechanical and structural causes — allowing treatment to be precise, whether conservative or surgical.

Dr. Paul Ghattas is seeing more patients come in with fractures from slip and falls, including injuries sustained during ski trips and other winter activities. One injury commonly seen this time of year is a humeral shaft fracture, which can occur when a fall places a twisting force through the arm. Not all injuries require surgery, and careful evaluation helps determine the safest and most effective path to healing.

If you’ve experienced a fall or injury this winter, expert evaluation can make a difference.

🦴 Fracture healing is a structured process—not an instant fix.
Bone healing occurs through three overlapping phases: inflammatory, reparative, and remodeling.
After injury, a clot forms to stabilize the fracture, followed by new bone formation and gradual strengthening as the bone remodels.
This process takes time and proper medical care to restore strength and function.

Type 3 supracondylar humerus fracture — reduced and pinned successfully. ✅
These fractures are a common pediatric injury and require precise reduction and stable fixation to restore alignment and protect elbow function. Proper pinning technique is essential to promote healing while minimizing the risk of stiffness, deformity, or neurovascular complications.
Timely surgical intervention and accurate fixation play a critical role in long-term functional outcomes.

While Dr. Paul Ghattas has a deep passion for surgery, one of the things he values most is time spent in the clinic getting to truly know his patients. Sitting down, listening, and understanding what matters most to each individual allows him to work collaboratively with patients to develop treatment plans that fit their lives and personal goals.

Dr. Ghattas’s focus is always on helping patients move past pain and regain the freedom to live life the way they want to live it. He understands that patients often have questions about which treatment options are right for them. Together, Dr. Ghattas and his patients review those options and decide on a plan that works best for their needs. Whether care involves conservative treatment or surgery, the goal remains the same: to help patients feel better, move better, and return to enjoying everyday life with confidence. If shoulder pain, stiffness, or limited movement is interfering with daily activities, a specialized evaluation can help uncover the cause and guide the right treatment.

This image highlights the changes that can occur in the shoulder with rheumatoid arthritis, specifically involving the humeral head. Over time, inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can damage the joint surface, leading to pain, stiffness, weakness, and loss of function.

Whether care involves medications, injections, or surgical solutions, the goal is always to restore comfort and movement as safely as possible.
