Shoulder Surgery

Shoulder surgery may be an appropriate treatment option for patients with severe joint pain, stiffness, or instability that does not improve with conservative treatments like physical therapy and immobilization.

Shoulder arthroscopy

This minimally invasive procedure is performed with an arthroscope, a thin surgical instrument with a small camera on the end. Surgeons use arthroscopies to view inside the joint and make evidence-based diagnoses. Arthroscopies may also be performed with other special tools to treat frozen shoulder, shoulder dislocation, and SLAP tears.

Rotator cuff repair

Commonly performed in throwing athletes, rotator cuff surgery is done to repair damaged portions of the rotator cuff, or the group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint securely in place.

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint repair

The AC joint, which joins the clavicle to the acromion, is susceptible to damage from arthritis, overuse injuries, and instability that can lead to shoulder separation. Surgery is often used to address these issues.

Shoulder replacement

Sometimes, patients with severe arthritis or trauma to the shoulder joint may require shoulder replacement. Also called an arthroplasty, shoulder replacement involves removing the damaged surfaces of this ball-and-socket joint and replacing them with artificial components to restore mobility and strength.
