Orthopaedic Shoulder Specialists

The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in the body, allowing for a wide range of motion, but this flexibility also makes it prone to injury and degenerative conditions. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, arthritis, or a complex shoulder condition, our experts are here to help you regain function and mobility in your shoulders.

Advanced Orthopaedic Shoulder Care Surgical Solutions

When conservative treatments are not sufficient to alleviate shoulder pain or restore function, our team may recommend surgical intervention. Some of the advanced procedures we offer include:

Shoulder Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder problems, such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and shoulder impingement.

Rotator Cuff Repair

Surgical repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon to restore function and stability to the shoulder.

Shoulder Stabilization

Surgical procedures to tighten or repair the ligaments and tendons that support the shoulder joint, often done for shoulder instability.

AC Joint Reconstruction

Surgical reconstruction of the AC joint, often done for severe AC joint separation.

Shoulder Replacement

Surgical replacement of the damaged shoulder joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and improve function, similar to knee or hip replacement surgery.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Unlike traditional shoulder replacement, where the ball of the joint is replaced with a metal or plastic implant, a reverse shoulder replacement involves the positions of the ball and socket being switched.
