Shoulder
The shoulder joint is the most flexible and complex joint of the body, enabling a wide range of movements to the upper extremities. Injuries and conditions of the shoulder can lead to pain, weakness, stiffness and an inability to rotate or raise your arm through a normal range of movement.
Common shoulder procedures and conditions treated at Salem Orthopaedic Surgery include:
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure performed using a special instrument called an arthroscope to diagnose or treat a shoulder problem.
Shoulder Replacement
During shoulder joint replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder are removed and replaced with artificial implants.

Reverse total shoulder replacement is an advanced surgical technique specifically designed to treat rotator cuff tear arthropathy, a condition where the patient suffers from both shoulder arthritis and a rotator cuff tear.
Rotator Cuff Repair
A tear in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons connecting muscle to bone around the shoulder joint, is the most common cause of shoulder pain.
Rotator Cuff Bursitis
Bursitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of bursae, small, fluid-filled sacs that are located in joints throughout the body, including the shoulder.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint.
Clavicle Fracture
Clavicle fracture is a break in the collarbone, one of the bones in shoulder.
Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
This arthroscopic procedure is used to repair a detached labrum, a thick band of cartilage that lines the shoulder socket.
Avascular Necrosis in Adults
Avascular necrosis is a condition that results from lack of blood supply to bone tissue, leading to bone death.
