After shoulder surgery, how long will you need to wear a sling?
Dr. Shiu of Towson Orthopaedic Associates explains that a sling is more than just part of your recovery routine. It serves as a reminder to protect your shoulder while providing support as you heal.
Most patients wear a sling for approximately 4–6 weeks, depending on their procedure. The key takeaway? Keeping your arm properly supported matters, whether it's resting in your sling or comfortably on your lap while seated, as directed by your surgeon.
At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, we're committed to helping patients throughout Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities feel informed and confident throughout their recovery.

Did you know that not every knee replacement requires replacing the entire joint?
Dr. Jack Steele of Towson Orthopaedic Associates explains how partial knee replacement targets only the arthritis-affected portion of the knee while preserving the healthy parts of the joint.
For eligible patients, this procedure can offer a faster recovery compared to total knee replacement, with same-day discharge, early weight-bearing, and a quicker return to everyday activities.
At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, we're proud to help patients across Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities explore treatment options that support long-term mobility and quality of life.
Watch as Dr. Steele breaks down the procedure and what patients can expect during recovery.

Peripheral nerve conditions can affect people of all ages and may cause symptoms such as burning, tingling, pins and needles, chronic pain, and difficulty sleeping or completing everyday activities.
Dr. Alex J. Adams explains how peripheral nerves travel from the neck through the shoulder, arm, and hand, as well as how these nerves can be affected by traumatic injuries or chronic pressure points. Depending on the condition, treatment may include surgical nerve release, repair, or reconstruction.
With specialized training in plastic surgery, microsurgery, and hand and upper extremity care, Dr. Adams uses targeted and minimally invasive techniques when appropriate to help address peripheral nerve problems and relieve chronic pain.
Towson Orthopaedic Associates proudly serves patients across Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities with specialized orthopaedic and upper extremity care.
