Our expert shoulder replacement specialists diagnose and treat a full range of conditions causing shoulder pain. Our providers utilize non-operative treatments for shoulder pain, and when those fail, surgery may be indicated.
Common surgical options include:
- Arthroscopy
- Shoulder replacement
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that involves the surgeon making a small incision in shoulder to remove the scar tissue and clean out the joint.
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement can be performed as a partial or total replacement surgery, depending on the type of bone and joint damage. Both techniques include surgical replacement of parts of the shoulder with implants.
