Shoulder Surgery
Procedures
A complete guide to shoulder surgery options, including shoulder replacement, rotator cuff repair, instability surgery, fracture reconstruction, biceps tenodesis, and revision shoulder surgery.
Total & Reverse
Rotator Cuff & Labrum
Fracture & Revision Surgery
Procedure-Specific Rehab
Shoulder Replacement Procedures
Total Shoulder Replacement
Anatomic shoulder replacement for arthritis when the rotator cuff remains intact and functional.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Advanced reconstruction for rotator cuff deficiency, complex arthritis, fractures, revision cases, and failed prior surgery.
Revision Shoulder Surgery
Complex reconstruction for failed prior shoulder replacement, infection, instability, stiffness, fracture, or persistent pain.
Rotator Cuff Procedures
Rotator Cuff Repair
Arthroscopic repair for partial, full-thickness, massive, complex, and revision rotator cuff tears.
Revision Rotator Cuff Repair
Advanced reconstruction for recurrent tears, failed prior repair, poor tissue quality, or persistent weakness.
Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Treatment options for large, complex, or potentially irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Instability & Labral Procedures
Bankart Repair
Arthroscopic labral repair for selected patients with traumatic shoulder instability and limited bone loss.
Latarjet Procedure
Bone-block stabilization for glenoid bone loss, recurrent instability, contact athletes, or failed Bankart repair.
Shoulder Instability Surgery
Stabilization surgery for recurrent dislocations, labral tears, Hill-Sachs lesions, and high-risk athletic shoulders.
Biceps & Fracture Procedures
Biceps Tenodesis
Treatment for painful biceps tendon disease, SLAP tears, and biceps-related anterior shoulder pain.
Proximal Humerus Fracture ORIF
Plate-and-screw fixation for selected shoulder fractures where preserving the native shoulder is appropriate.
Reverse Replacement For Fractures
Reverse shoulder replacement for selected severe fractures, fracture-dislocations, or non-reconstructable fracture patterns.
Dr. Streit's Clinical Perspective
The correct shoulder surgery depends on the diagnosis, tissue quality, rotator cuff function, bone quality, prior surgery, activity goals, and the recovery required afterward.
The goal is not simply to perform a procedure. The goal is to choose the operation most likely to restore durable comfort, motion, strength, and function.

Need Help Choosing The Right Procedure?
A shoulder-specific evaluation can determine whether surgery is appropriate and which procedure offers the best chance of restoring durable shoulder function.
