Shoulder Services
The shoulder is one of the most complex and mobile joints in the body, making it uniquely susceptible to injury and wear.
At East Coast Orthopaedics, we provide expert care for the full range of shoulder conditions, from acute rotator cuff tears and dislocations to the chronic limitations of advanced arthritis. We combine precision diagnostics with a personalized approach, offering everything from advanced stabilization and minimally invasive repairs to total shoulder replacement.
We are committed to relieving your pain and restoring the strength and range of motion you need to reclaim your active lifestyle.

Shoulder Operative Procedures
Using his own signature technique, Mr Jacob stabilizes the joint to relieve pain and restore overhead and cross-body motion.
Suitable for both acute injuries and chronic degeneration, this procedure is tailored to the severity of the separation, with most patients returning to full activity within a few months of structured rehabilitation.

Replaces a worn joint with a prosthetic to eliminate arthritis pain and restore daily range of motion.
By replacing both the ball and socket with high-grade prosthetic components, this procedure delivers reliable, long-term relief for patients whose quality of life has been significantly impacted by advanced joint disease.
Total shoulder replacement
Replaces a worn joint with a prosthetic to eliminate arthritis pain and restore daily range of motion.

Stabilizes the shoulder to prevent recurrent dislocations, restoring integrity for high-impact movement.
The choice between arthroscopic repair and the Latarjet procedure depends on bone loss and dislocation history, with the Latarjet offering a more robust solution for patients at higher risk of recurrence. Mr Jacob will counsel you through the shared decision making process
Arthroscopic Bankarts and open Latarjet
Stabilizes the shoulder to prevent recurrent dislocations, restoring integrity for high-impact movement.

Innovative design for complex tears that shifts muscle function to restore pain-free lifting and movement.
By reversing the ball-and-socket geometry, this design recruits the deltoid muscle to compensate for a non-functioning rotator cuff, making it the preferred solution when conventional replacement would not produce adequate function.
Reverse total shoulder replacement
Innovative design for complex tears that shifts muscle function to restore pain-free lifting and movement.

Reattaches torn tendons to the bone to relieve chronic pain and restore overhead reaching and lifting power.
Performed arthroscopically in most cases, the procedure involves precise tendon reattachment with a recovery pathway designed to progressively restore strength and protect the repair during healing.

Keyhole surgery to repair internal damage and clear inflammation for faster, comfortable shoulder recovery.
Using small incisions and a camera-guided approach, this minimally invasive technique reduces surgical trauma, accelerates recovery, and allows precise treatment of conditions that would otherwise require open surgery.
