Shoulder Surgery

Leading-Edge Shoulder Treatments

Crystal Run’s fellowship-trained physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder conditions. Our surgeons are among the only ones in the region who perform Total Shoulder Reconstruction and Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement, along with a wide variety of arthroscopic surgeries for rotator cuff tears and dislocated shoulders.

If you’re suffering from a shoulder condition, don’t delay shoulder pain treatment. Shoulder surgery can help eradicate pain and restore normal function to the affected shoulder. Our skilled orthopedic shoulder doctors specialize in the following shoulder surgeries:

Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery (arthroplasty):

A surgical procedure to replace the glenohumeral joint with a prosthetic implant, total shoulder replacement restores comfort and function to shoulders damaged by degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery:

A surgical procedure using a special prosthesis to restore comfort and improve function, reverse total shoulder replacement surgery is appropriate for patients who have experienced a failed conventional total shoulder replacement or who have combined arthritis, rotator cuff tears, and instability.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair:

A minimally-invasive surgical procedure performed through small incisions, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery uses a camera to visualize the inside of a joint along with special instruments to repair the torn rotator cuff. The arthroscopic technique minimizes both pain and blood loss and makes for a faster, less painful recovery.

Arthroscopic Instability Repair:

Shoulders that dislocate frequently have a torn cartilage structure called the labrum. The labrum can be repaired using arthroscopic instability repair—a minimally-invasive technique to prevent future shoulder dislocations.
