At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, every patient has a story—and Steve McKew’s is one many can relate to.

After decades of hard work and now enjoying retirement in Catonsville, Steve stays active with his family, especially his grandson who “gives [him] a good workout.” Whether it’s tackling home projects or exploring local trails, staying mobile is essential to his lifestyle.

But sometimes, injuries don’t come from major accidents. For Steve, it started with something as simple as stepping off a curb—followed by pain that gradually worsened over time.

In Part 1 of his journey with Dr. Dave Schroder, Steve shares how a seemingly minor moment turned into something that couldn’t be ignored—and why seeking expert orthopaedic care matters.

Not all AC joint injuries require surgery—but in some cases, surgical reconstruction may be necessary to restore shoulder stability. In this video, Mark Clough, MD explains why Grade 3 and higher AC joint injuries can be controversial in treatment and how factors like activity level and athletic demands may influence whether surgery is recommended.

When the ligaments that stabilize the clavicle and shoulder blade are significantly injured, reconstructing those structures can help restore proper shoulder mechanics and support the muscles that power everyday movement and athletic performance.

One of the most frequently seen injuries is a torn meniscus, which can occur from activities that involve twisting motions such as skiing, running, or sudden changes in direction. In many cases, these injuries can be evaluated and treated effectively, and some may require arthroscopic surgery depending on the severity.

Dr. Richard Winakur also highlights knee arthritis as another common condition that can affect mobility and overall quality of life. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and loss of motion in the joint. Treatment options can range from physical therapy and medication to help manage symptoms, with knee replacement surgery sometimes considered when more conservative treatments are no longer effective.

When shoulder pain from a rotator cuff tear doesn’t improve with conservative care, surgical intervention may be the next step. At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, Dr. Mark Clough explains how arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery allows for a minimally invasive approach to repair damaged tendons, reduce pain, and restore shoulder function.

Using advanced arthroscopic techniques, Dr. Mark Clough performs surgery through small incisions with specialized instruments and a camera that provides a detailed view of the joint. This approach typically results in less tissue disruption, reduced postoperative discomfort, and a more efficient recovery process compared to traditional open procedures. The goal is always to help patients return to their daily activities safely and confidently.

At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, we are proudly serving Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities with expert orthopaedic care tailored to each patient’s needs.
