Experiencing ongoing shoulder pain, weakness, or difficulty lifting your arm overhead? It could be related to a severe rotator cuff tear. Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) is an advanced procedure designed to restore stability in the shoulder when the rotator cuff is too damaged to repair with standard surgery.

SCR can help reduce pain, improve function, and support patients who have persistent shoulder limitations despite conservative treatment.

At Prairie Orthopaedic & Plastic Surgery, Dr. Byington offers expert evaluation and Superior Capsular Reconstruction when appropriate. If shoulder pain is affecting your daily life, our team is here to help you take the next step toward relief and recovery.

"Dr Chatwell is an amazing therapist! He is technically skilled, knowledgeable, and kind. I had back spasms that would not stop and he helped me to stop the spasms and got me going pain free in one visit. He also taught me how to keep them from returning. I highly recommend him." - rater8 Verified Patient
