Dr. Mark McConkey, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Richmond, BC

Dr. McConkey was born and raised in Vancouver and an interest in orthopaedic sports medicine started early due to his father’s close involvement in the orthopaedic care of elite athletes in the mountains and across Canada. Involvement in high level athletics led him as a patient to the training room and eventually the operating room and solidified his interest in caring for injured athletes. Dr. McConkey’s introduction to the North Shore was as a member of the North Shore Twins baseball team which prepared him for 4 years as a player on the UBC Thunderbirds varsity baseball team. After orthopaedic residency he completed a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Iowa where he helped take care of the Iowa Hawkeyes collegiate sports teams including the Iowa Hawkeyes Football team, in the NCAA Big Ten Conference. Following that year he completed a fellowship in Auckland, New Zealand at the Millenium Institute of Sport & Health with Dr. Matthew Brick with a focus on hip arthroscopy and athletic hip injuries.

During hip or knee replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the painful joint and replaces it with an artificial joint made from plastic, ceramic and/or metal. 

Treatment for shoulder arthritis may include non-surgical approaches such as pain management, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. In more severe cases, surgery, such as joint replacement or joint fusion, may be considered to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function. It's important for individuals with shoulder arthritis to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
