Shoulder Resources: Dr. Rudzki’s great love and focus within sports medicine is the shoulder. This is demonstrated by his research, teaching, publications and presentations on partial rotator cuff tears, rotator cuff vascular supply and it’s role in rotator cuff disease, clavicle fractures, and suture anchors. Dr. Rudzki has the honor and privilege of being a member of the American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons. This highly selective academic society is “made up of leading national and international Orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in surgery of the shoulder and elbow.”
Several case studies, patient testimonials, and blog posts can be found through this portion of our site to help educate patients about common shoulder problems, treatment options, and rehabilitation considerations. Additional information may be gained from visiting links to our YouTube Site, Lectures & Presentations, Research & Publications, and External Sources.
Dr. Rudzki has a special interest in several different types of fractures about the clavicle and shoulder. Active in research on clavicle fracture outcomes and the treatment of injuries involving the ligaments attached to the clavicle, he recently gave the following presentation entitled “Clavicle Fractures 2017: Optimizing Patient Outcomes” at the New Horizons in Sports Medicine Conference hosted by Professor George Murrell of the University of New South Wales. We believe these opportunities to interact and collaborate with surgeons and therapists from across the world lead to new perspectives and better patient care.
