Services

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Our arthroscopic procedures use small incisions and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat shoulder joint problems. This technique reduces recovery time while maintaining surgical precision for conditions like labral tears and impingement syndrome. Patients benefit from less postoperative pain and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.

Rotator Cuff Repair

We specialize in repairing torn rotator cuff tendons using both arthroscopic and open surgical techniques. Our approach focuses on restoring shoulder function through precise tendon reattachment and biological augmentation when needed. Postoperative therapy protocols are customized to optimize healing and strength recovery for each patient's specific injury pattern.

Shoulder Replacement

Our shoulder replacement surgeries address severe arthritis and complex fractures using conventional and reverse total shoulder implants. We utilize advanced surgical techniques to ensure proper implant positioning and soft tissue balancing. Patients receive comprehensive preoperative education and personalized rehabilitation plans to maximize functional outcomes and implant longevity.

Biologic Injections

We offer biologic treatment alternatives including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell injections, and A2M therapy for shoulder conditions. These treatments harness the body's natural healing mechanisms to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Our specialists determine appropriate candidates through thorough diagnostic evaluations before administering these cutting-edge therapies.

Elbow Arthroscopy

Our elbow arthroscopy procedures address conditions like tennis elbow, joint instability, and loose bodies using small incisions and specialized instruments. This approach allows for precise diagnosis and treatment of elbow joint pathologies while minimizing tissue disruption. Patients typically experience quicker recovery times and reduced postoperative discomfort compared to traditional elbow surgery techniques.
