Leading-edge treatment options
In addition to a variety of nonsurgical options, such as medication, rehabilitation and sports medicine services, we offer the latest surgical procedures available in shoulder care. Our surgeons are specially trained on:
A shoulder replacement can improve the pain and motion issues you're experiencing. We offer three different types:
Total shoulder replacement: Involves removing the damaged shoulder joint and replacing it with artificial parts.
Reverse total shoulder replacement: An innovative procedure that is improving patient outcomes because, unlike a traditional total shoulder replacement, the reverse shoulder replacement doesn't require our experts to reposition or rebuild any bone structures. The result is a faster recovery and longer-lasting joint replacement.
Hemiarthroplasty: A procedure in which only the ball of the shoulder joint is replaced.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgery that involves using a tiny camera called an arthroscope to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your shoulder joint. The benefits of arthroscopy are smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery and less scarring. These procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home on the same day.
We specialize in providing advanced trauma care, which may include surgery with internal fixation of the shoulder or replacement when necessary.
