A Patient Story
I am a 70-year-old woman who fell down the basement steps and landed on my shoulder. My humerus bone was knocked into my armpit area, and was cracked around the ball and cracked lengthwise.
Due to the nature of the injury, Dr. Fowler said we would need to wait to see if the bone went back into the proper position on its own. When that hadn’t happened after three months, we decided to move forward with surgery. I was excited to schedule the surgery so I could move forward. Try going three months with a dislocated shoulder. Not fun! I had no problems during or after surgery, and my post-surgical results have been great! I was even able to move my shoulder sooner than expected. Dr. Fowler is my hero!
