About
Welcome to ShoulderBuzz — your one-stop resource for everything shoulder.
Founded and edited by Dr. Uma Srikumaran, a Johns Hopkins shoulder surgeon, ShoulderBuzz was created to bridge the gap between complex medical expertise and everyday understanding. We believe that shoulder knowledge should be professional, evidence-based, and approachable—so patients feel empowered and clinicians have a trusted resource to support care and education.
