Shoulder Related Patient Education

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery to treat shoulder problems, including shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tears. The procedure usually takes less than an hour. Many people can go back to work or school in a few days. For more complex surgeries, recovery may take longer

Shoulder Joint Replacement

Shoulder joint replacement is a surgical procedure to replace damaged bone surfaces with artificial components to relieve pain and improve functional ability in the shoulder joint. Shoulder joint replacement can be done by a traditional "open" approach or through a minimally invasive approach. The incision in minimally invasive shoulder joint replacement is about 5 cm compared to 17 cm with the traditional approach. Other benefits of minimally invasive surgery include less damage to the soft tissues and underlying muscles enabling a faster recovery with less pain and a smaller scar. Blood loss during the surgery is also less and complications after the surgery are fewer when compared to the open technique.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Reverse shoulder replacement surgery restructures the shoulder in a way that improves the mechanics of the muscles that surround the glenohumeral joint and make up the rotator cuff. It is a creative and effective way to restore the structure and function of the shoulder joint. This surgery is the ideal choice for patients who have arthritis due to a rotator cuff tear arthropathy and are at a mechanical disadvantage for other methods of shoulder repositioning.

Total Shoulder Replacement

The goal of total shoulder replacement surgery is to relieve shoulder pain and increase shoulder function by resurfacing the bones that meet at the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint, or glenohumeral joint. The surgeon removes the humeral head at the top of the arm bone (humerus), reshapes the shoulder socket (glenoid), and attaches prosthetic components to both bones.

Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty

Shoulder hemiarthroplasty is a shoulder replacement in which the damaged humeral head is replaced with a prosthetic humeral head. Shoulder arthroplasty is a rapidly evolving area of orthopedics focused on treating specific, painful ailments of the glenohumeral articulation.

Ultrasound Guided Shoulder Injections

This non-operative, outpatient procedure is designed to provide relief for patients with pain in the shoulder from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and adhesive capsulitis. The technique allows the physician to inject an inflammation-reducing steroid with maximum accuracy.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a type of shoulder surgery used to repair a tear of the rotator cuff in your shoulder. Shoulder arthroscopy uses small incisions and special equipment to view and repair an injury, and is considered less-invasive than traditional open surgery.
