Total Shoulder Replacement

A total shoulder replacement, also known as total shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical treatment that replaces damaged portions of the shoulder joint with artificial components, or prostheses, in order to reduce pain and restore function. This operation is usually suggested for people who have severe shoulder arthritis or other degenerative disorders that cause significant discomfort and limited movement.

There are several types of shoulder replacements. The standard anatomic total shoulder replacement involves replacing the arthritic joint surfaces with a highly polished metal ball and a plastic socket. Another type of shoulder replacement is called reverse total shoulder replacement. In reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched:
* A metal ball is attached to the shoulder bone.
* A plastic socket is attached to the upper arm bone.
Your surgeon will evaluate your situation carefully before making any decisions. They will discuss with you which type of replacement will best meet your health needs. Do not hesitate to ask which type of implant you will receive, and why that choice is right for you.

Shoulder Arthroscopy with
Subacromial Decompression is an arthroscopic procedure designed to release the tight ligament of the coracoacromial arch and to shave away some of the under surface of the acromion. This raises the roof of the shoulder, allowing more room for the rotator cuff tendons to move underneath. The tendon is then able to move more freely, breaking the cycle of rubbing and swelling of the tendon.

A thin, flexible tube with a camera on one end called an arthroscope is inserted into a small incision in your shoulder. This allows your surgeon to see inside the joint. Using an Arthrex Apollo I-90 Ablation probe, the surgeon (Dr.Pierotti) is able to clean up some of the tissue before starting the decompression. Then using an Arthex Burr, a surgical instrument, bone and tissue is gently removed from the underside of the acromion. You will see at the end of the video there is a wide open space for the tendon to move more freely. If the surgeon also finds damaged tendons they may need to repair these in the same procedure (this will be discussed with you before the procedure).

After Subacromial Decompression (Arthroscopic) surgery you will need some shoulder rehabilitation to regain your range of motion and strength. You may be given a sling to wear for comfort, or you may just be instructed to rest your shoulder. As with any surgery, make sure you follow your surgeon’s instructions for your rehabilitation

Subacromial Decompression (Arthroscopic) surgery it is commonly performed for impingement syndrome which has failed to respond to conservative measures such as steroid injection and physiotherapy. The surgery is usually carried out as same day procedure.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
How Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Surgery Works:

A small incision, typically about 1.5 centimeters, is made in the wrist. The endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera, is inserted through the incision. The endoscope allows the surgeon to visualize the transverse carpal ligament, while the cannula protects the median nerve. A cutting device, guided by the endoscope, is used to cut the transverse carpal ligament, relieving pressure on the median nerve. Incision Closure: The small incision is closed with stitches or sterile glue.

Many patients experience a faster recovery with less pain and a quicker return to normal activities. �Endoscopic surgery may result in less post-operative pain and discomfort. �

Depending on the severity of the condition and individual anatomy, endoscopic surgery may not be suitable for all patients.

If you are in Dubuque, Iowa or close too it! Call and make an appointment if you’re having numbness or tingling. We are the only orthopedic clinic in the area that offers Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release!
