Take advantage of this opportunity to chat live with an orthopaedic surgeon in a secure online setting. Dr. Peter Evans will be available to answer your personal questions about shoulder pain and treatment options. Unlike sturdier ball-and-socket joints, the shoulder is like a golf ball on a tee, he says, carefully stabilized by a complex arrangement of capsule, ligaments, tendons and muscles that are prone to injury and degeneration. Shoulder instability, arthritis and rotator cuff injuries will be discussed.

Peter Evans, MD, PhD, is director of the Upper Extremity Center in the Orthopaedic and Rheumatologic Institute at Cleveland Clinic. He came to Cleveland Clinic in 2001 from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he was Chief of the Division of Hand and Upper Extremity, the Division of Sports Medicine, and the Director of Orthopaedic Research.
