Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Specialists Lexington, KY
Patients are at risk of upper-extremity injuries if they are active in recreational activities, performing repetitive tasks, or have had an acute injury. The risk increases if high-level activities are continued after 60 years of age. A multitude of shoulder and elbow injuries can develop that may prevent patients from living an active, pain-free life.
At the Bluegrass Orthopaedics base in Lexington, KY our fellowship-trained specialists treat shoulder and elbow conditions such as:
We treat patients ranging from pediatrics to senior citizens, and can tailor a treatment plan specific to a patient's condition. If you'd like to hear some of our many success stories, check out our "Comeback Champions".
Some patients with rotator cuff problems can be treated non-surgically with a modification of activities, physical therapy, injections and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Surgical treatments for shoulder conditions performed by our surgeons include tendon transfers and fracture work, as well as joint replacement, rotator cuff, instability surgeries and arthroscopic repairs.
One procedure, reverse shoulder replacement, can offer patients with an irreparable rotator cuff and no overhead function the ability to improve range of motion and eliminate pain.
BGO's Champion patient comes from London, KY - Ms. Sydney Parker. Sydney is an animal lover, and was injured after a fall from her horse in October of 2018. She fractured and dislocated her elbow, which unfortunately led to surgery in October of 2018 - a complicated procedure that required an open reduction internal fixation as well as an ulnar nerve decompression and transposition. Sydney had fractured her trochlea, lateral condyle of her elbow, as well as her olecranon.
Dr. Donegan and his staff, as well as all the other BGO associates, are wonderful! They are always helpful and make you the center of attention. They always explain everything in a way that you can understand them. I have recommended...Dr. Donegan and his staff, as well as all the other BGO associates, are wonderful!

He listens to what you have to say. I’ve been to doctors in the past that thought they needed to tell you how you feel. His bedside manner is incredible. Also...the staff in his office are timely which is extremely important for those of us that have to work and very polite.

He treated me with respect, was kind, and listened to everything I had to say. He explained in detail even providing photos of the procedure that was needed and answered every question I had. I left with a surgery date and great hope for a less painful 2020. I will post more post surgery.
