The shoulder joint is the most flexible and complex joint of the body enabling a wide range of movements to the upper extremities. Shoulder problems can lead to pain, weakness, stiffness and an inability to rotate or raise the arm through a normal range of movement.
How We Can Help
Common shoulder procedures and conditions treated at Salem Orthopaedic Surgery:
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement surgery removes and replaces damaged cartilage and bone in the shoulder joint with artificial implants and is an option to relieve arthritis pain that limits daily activities.
There are different types of shoulder replacement surgeries that remove and replace damaged cartilage and bone. The types of shoulder replacement surgeries include those below, as well as others you might need based on your doctor’s recommendations.
Total Shoulder Replacement
A surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts.
Revision Shoulder Replacement
If a previous shoulder implant becomes damaged, revision shoulder replacement surgery may be performed to repair or replace the damaged artificial joint with a new implant.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your doctor to diagnose and treat many shoulder problems using only small incisions and specialized tools.
Rotator Cuff Repair
This surgical procedure repairs a tear in the tissues connecting muscle to bone around the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Pain
Any physical discomfort in or around the shoulder joint.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder is a painful condition in which the shoulder becomes stiff and inflamed, limiting movement of the joint. This condition is most often treated with non-surgical methods, though surgery may be recommended in severe cases.
Rotator Cuff Bursitis
Rotator Cuff Burstitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of bursa, a soft sack that contains a small amount of fluid and cushions the joint. This condition is most often treated with non-surgical methods, though surgery may be recommended in severe cases.
