instability
Dr. Petty has restored normal shoulder performance to people who have been told, sometimes by multiple surgeons, that their shoulder is not fixable. The procedure involves cutting a piece of bone from the patient's pelvis, shaping it to provide a perfect fit with the humeral head and glenoid (the bone that holds the humeral head in position, and then attaching the harvested bone to the glenoid.

Knee:
● Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
● Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
Dr. Petty uses the anatomic "double-bundle" procedure for ACL reconstruction. He uses this procedure because it is the only way to restore the original, native anatomy. The natural ACL has a complex structure consisting of two bundles. Most ACL surgeries currently utilize a single bundle because the double-bundle procedure requires more time and more refined skills. Even with the double-bundle procedure, it is critical that the grafts be positioned in exactly the right positions. Otherwise, the knee will be subjected to some of the same unnatural forces that occur with cruciate-deficient knees that will limit knee function and lead to osteoarthritis in future years. Proper rehabilitation is critical, but rehabilitation cannot overcome technical deficiencies in the surgery.
