"In July of 2024, I had a complex shoulder surgery, including a bicep reattachment and rotator cuff repair. Dr. Chopp was knowledgeable and articulate in explaining the process. He was personable and a great surgeon.

Thanks to him, I had a full and smooth recovery with pain free renewed use of my shoulder/arm. His team, Kiira (PA) and Shiela (MA) were wonderful as well. Thank you, Dr. Chopp for your outstanding expertise. -Bonnie Blair, 2.23.25

Shoulder instability can sideline even the most active individuals — especially when a torn labrum is involved.

We specialize in arthroscopic labral repair: a minimally invasive procedure that reattaches the labrum to the bone using suture anchors inserted through tiny incisions. This technique allows:
✅ Precise restoration of joint stability
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Lower risk of recurrence
✅ Less postoperative pain

For lasting results, the key is healing: the labrum must bond securely to the glenoid bone in its anatomical position. That’s where our experience — and technique — make all the difference.

Arthroscopic Labral Repair Surgeons Have you sustained a labral tear, or are experiencing shoulder instability? The arthroscopic labral repair surgeons at Shoulder Clinic of Idaho provide diagnosis and both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for patients in the Boise area who are suffering f...

Elite musicians master one instrument.
Top athletes focus on one sport.
Shouldn’t your shoulder surgeon specialize too?

Before surgery, ask:
✅ How many shoulder surgeries do you perform?
✅ Do you treat this condition daily?
✅ Can you handle a revision if something goes wrong?

Subspecialty matters. Experience matters more.
