Shoulder Surgeries We Offer
Shoulder Arthroscopy
If traditional treatments don’t help manage pain, Dr. Mehta may suggest shoulder arthroscopy.
Using a small camera and tiny incisions, she can remove bone spurs or repair other damage. This helps you heal faster and move your arm without pain.
Rotator Cuff Surgery
If your rotator cuff is torn and therapy isn’t helping, rotator cuff surgery may be the option.
In this procedure, Dr. Mehta will reattach the tendon to the bone for a full tear. But if the tear is small, she may trim damaged tissue, thus restoring your strength and mobility.
AC Joint Repair
Injury to the AC joint, also called shoulder separation, can limit your mobility. If therapy doesn’t help, Dr. Mehta may perform AC joint repair surgery. This helps repair or reconstruct the torn AC (collarbone) ligaments. As a result, you can move with ease and comfort again.
Shoulder Replacement
For severe arthritis or joint damage, shoulder replacement may be the best option.
As a shoulder surgeon, Dr. Mehta replaces your damaged joint parts with artificial ones. This helps reduce pain, so you can stay active and perform daily tasks easily.
Dislocation Surgery
If your shoulder dislocates often, it can weaken your joint.
Dr. Mehta may recommend dislocation surgery to repair the damage and tighten ligaments. This helps stabilize your shoulder, helping you prevent future injuries.
SLAP Repair
A SLAP tear is a painful injury to the labrum, the cartilage around your shoulder socket. As a shoulder surgeon, Dr. Mehta may fix it with arthroscopic SLAP repair.
Depending on the tear, she can reattach the labrum or remove damaged tissue to help you move without pain.
