What Is Shoulder Surgery?
Shoulder surgery involves repairing or replacing damaged structures within the shoulder joint to relieve pain and restore proper function. Depending on your diagnosis and the severity of your condition, our orthopedic specialists may recommend one of several surgical options, including:
- Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera to repair soft tissue damage.
- Rotator Cuff Repair: Reattaches torn tendons in the shoulder.
- Labral Repair: Fixes a torn labrum, often resulting from sports injuries or dislocations.
- Shoulder Replacement (Arthroplasty): Replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components.
- Shoulder Stabilization Surgery: Addresses recurrent dislocations or instability.
Conditions That May Require Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder surgery is often recommended for patients experiencing chronic pain or limited function that hasn’t improved with physical therapy, injections, or medication. Common conditions we treat include:
- Rotator cuff tears
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Labral tears (SLAP tears)
- Recurrent shoulder dislocations
- Shoulder arthritis
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Fractures or traumatic injuries
If your shoulder pain is interfering with your work, sleep, or daily activities, surgical treatment may offer lasting relief and improved performance.
