Surgical Outcomes
Measured Outcomes. Meaningful Recovery.
“Many of my patients come to me after a long journey.”
If you’ve seen several doctors, tried different treatments, or even undergone prior surgery without lasting relief, you’re not alone. My practice focuses on complex and revision shoulder and elbow cases—patients who often begin treatment with more pain and worse function than national averages.
Through careful evaluation, advanced techniques, and ongoing measurement, I strive to help every patient move from frustration to progress—step by step.
Personal, Transparent Results — Matthew Fury, MD
Shoulder Function (SANE Scores)
Average patient-reported improvement over time
Patients under my care typically begin with more severe shoulder limitations than national comparison groups (baseline ≈ 42 vs 28 points). By one year post-operation, their average SANE score reaches 83, exceeding national benchmarks (~73).
Interpretation: Even though these are often revision or highly complex cases, patients experience greater improvement than the national norm—evidence of precise surgical planning and data-driven rehabilitation.
Knee Function (IKDC Scores)
Validated outcome measure for knee stability and activity
My knee patients often start below national baselines, yet by one year they show substantial, above-average functional improvement, surpassing national benchmarks for similar procedures.
Interpretation: Steeper recovery curves reflect a commitment to individualized care and consistent follow-up—essential for complex knee reconstructions and revisions.
Shoulder + Elbow Function (ASES Scores)
Comprehensive measure of pain and performance across shoulder and elbow conditions
Patients with shoulder and elbow disorders in my care begin below average but achieve equal or higher one-year outcomes than national peers.
Interpretation: This demonstrates balanced excellence across both shoulder and elbow procedures, supported by validated outcome tracking.
Summary of Personal Results
| Metric | Baseline (Dr. Fury) | 1-Year Outcome | National Benchmark | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder (SANE) | 42 | 83 | 73 | Above average |
| Knee (IKDC) | ≈ 42 | High 70s | ≈ 65 | Above average |
| Shoulder + Elbow (ASES) | ≈ 50 | Mid-80s | ≈ 80 | Above average |
Why This Matters to Patients
These outcomes show that—even for complex or revision cases—meaningful improvement is achievable. I measure every result because data should guide care, not ego. My goal is to provide each patient the best possible chance at recovery, function, and confidence.
Data Integrity and Benchmarking
- Outcomes reflect Matthew Fury, MD’s personal surgical cases.
- Benchmarked against a national dataset and regional norms.
- Uses validated patient-reported outcome measures (SANE, IKDC, ASES).
- Updated annually to maintain transparency and continuous improvement.
For Patients Seeking Expert-Level, Evidence-Based Care
If you’ve been told nothing more can be done, or your case is “too complex,” there are still options. Data like this exist because we believe that even the most challenging situations deserve evidence-driven, compassionate solutions.

Shoulder Function (SANE Scores)
Patient-reported shoulder rating
Patients under my care typically begin with more severe shoulder limitations than national comparison groups (baseline ≈ 28 vs 42 points).
By one year post-operation, their average SANE score reaches 83, outperforming national benchmarks (~73).
Interpretation:
Even though these are often revision or highly complex cases, patients experience greater improvement than the national norm—evidence of precise surgical planning and execution coupled with data-driven rehabilitation.
Knee Function (IKDC Scores)
Validated outcome measure for knee stability and activity
My knee patients often start below national baselines, yet by one year they show substantial, above-average functional improvement, surpassing national benchmarks for similar procedures.
Interpretation:
These recovery curves reflect a commitment to individualized care focused on stability restoration and meniscal preservation. This approach allows us to return patients back to performance after even the most complex knee reconstructions and revisions.
Shoulder + Elbow Function (ASES Scores)
Comprehensive measure of pain and performance across shoulder and elbow conditions
Patients with shoulder and elbow disorders in my care begin below average but achieve higher one-year outcomes than national peers.
Interpretation:
This demonstrates balanced excellence across both shoulder and elbow procedures, including Tommy John / UCL surgeries and throwing athlete care, supported by validated outcome tracking.
