If you need surgery for a knee or shoulder problem, James R. McClurg, MD,
can get your life back on track faster than you may think.
Dr. McClurg is one of San Diego’s leading board-certified orthopedic surgeons. He has years of
experience in arthroscopic joint surgery. In fact, he was among the first surgeons in the
region to perform some complex shoulder surgeries with this minimally invasive technique.
The word “arthroscopy” comes from the Greek words “arthron,” which means “joint,” and “skopeo,”
which means “to look.” It allows the skilled orthopedic surgeon to safely look inside the joint
to diagnose and treat many problems.
This technique offers major benefits over older approaches.
- ARTHROSCOPY is typically performed on an outpatient basis.
- THE INCISIONS USED WITH ARTHROSCOPY are much smaller than the longer incisions necessary for “open” surgery.
- RECOVERY is generally much faster after an arthroscopic procedure than after open surgery.
Dr. McClurg helps his patients avoid surgery whenever possible, but if it’s the best solution
for your problem, you’re in excellent hands. Surgery is serious, so you want Dr. McClurg’s
experience and excellent track record.
Dr. McClurg provides arthroscopic surgery for:
- THE KNEE, INCLUDING ACL REPAIRS AND OTHER PROCEDURES
- THE SHOULDER, INCLUDING COMPLEX RECONSTRUCTION AND ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR
- CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE
- TENNIS ELBOW AND OTHER PAINFUL ELBOW INJURIES
Over the past 17 years, Dr. McClurg has helped thousands of people in Southern California get
out of pain and back to their best level of function. Find out how he can help you with c
