Select a procedure to see which specialty provides care.

Shoulder arthroscopy - Treats rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and shoulder impingement by using a small camera and instruments to repair tissue.

Total shoulder replacement - Treats severe arthritis and irreparable rotator cuff tears by replacing the joint with an artificial implant.

Reverse shoulder replacement - Treats massive rotator cuff tears and complex arthritis by reversing the shoulder's ball-and-socket configuration.

Conditions
