Dr. Elkousy is a board certified orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty certification in sports medicine and a proud member of the Fondren Orthopedic Group and Texas Orthopedic Hospital. His practice has particular experience in addressing injuries of the shoulder, knee, and proximal hamstring ruptures.
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons in the shoulder that provide support and enable a wide range of motion of the shoulder joint.
The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the major stabilizing ligaments in the knee.
Proximal hamstring tears are uncommon injuries, but when they occur, they can be disabling.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint. The benefits of arthroscopy are smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.
