Shoulder Replacement
What is a Shoulder Replacement?
Shoulder replacement surgery replaces damaged parts of the shoulder bone with artificial implants that reduce pain and restore mobility for the patient.
Dr. Martin specializes in treating conditions affecting the shoulder including torn rotator cuff, arthritis, and fractures, among other conditions. He can diagnose your shoulder condition and provide a variety of treatment options including Shoulder Replacement.

You may experience persistent or recurring pain in the knee that keeps you awake at night and you have difficulty doing daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.
- Stiff or swollen knee
- Knee deformity—a bowing in or out of the knee
- Stiffness that requires the use of a cane or other mobility device
To determine whether a knee replacement is right for you, you will need:
- Physical exam
- Check range of motion, strength and stability
- X-Rays to show extent of condition
Early diagnosis and treatment of knee conditions can help ease the pain and increase quality of life.
