We Can Help Relieve Your shoulder Pain
We specialize in reliable and innovative treatment options for your shoulder pain. Shoulder joint replacement is not nearly as common across the country as hip or knee replacement. Therefore, many surgeons have limited experience with shoulder replacement techniques.
It is important that a shoulder surgeon is specially trained in all of the latest treatments for degenerative shoulder conditions so that every consideration can be made in regard to the condition of your shoulder joint, your age and activity level.
For people with chronic, degenerative shoulder conditions, shoulder joint replacements can provide excellent and long-lasting pain relief and improved function. These replacements include implants that remove minimal bone from the ball of the joint (humerus), standard hemiarthroplasty (replacement of ball side only) or total shoulder arthroplasty (replacement of ball and socket). A “reverse” shoulder replacement is a newer type of implant that can dramatically improve the function of arthritic shoulders which have large rotator cuff tears.
Your OHSU shoulder specialist can help you decide which option is right for you.
In addition to conservative options such as physical therapy and pain management, we offer:
