From rotator cuff repair to shoulder replacement — our board-certified orthopedic surgeons treat the full spectrum of shoulder injuries and conditions using the latest arthroscopic and reconstructive techniques.
Our orthopedic surgeons evaluate and treat every major shoulder condition — from acute sports injuries to chronic degenerative disease.
Partial and complete tears of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, or subscapularis tendons. Often causing weakness and pain with overhead activity.
Tears of the cartilage rim surrounding the shoulder socket. Common in overhead athletes and after shoulder dislocations.
Pinching of the rotator cuff tendons beneath the acromion, causing pain with overhead movement and disrupted sleep.
Recurrent shoulder dislocations or subluxations. Often requires surgical stabilization to prevent long-term joint damage.
Glenohumeral osteoarthritis causing progressive pain, stiffness, and grinding. Advanced cases may require shoulder replacement.
Biceps tendinopathy, SLAP tears, and proximal biceps tendon ruptures — treated arthroscopically or with tenodesis when indicated.
Acromioclavicular separations from falls or direct impacts. Treated conservatively or surgically depending on grade and functional demands.
Progressive stiffness and pain with marked loss of shoulder motion. Treated with injections, manipulation under anesthesia, or arthroscopic release.
Proximal humerus fractures from falls or direct trauma. Treated with splinting, ORIF, or replacement depending on fracture pattern and bone quality.
We offer the full spectrum of shoulder procedures — from minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to total and reverse shoulder replacement.
Camera-guided repair of torn rotator cuff tendons using small portals — less pain, less scarring, faster recovery than open repair. Most patients go home the same day.
Arthroscopic SLAP repair, Bankart repair, and capsular plication for labral tears and shoulder instability. Restores stability and prevents recurrent dislocations.
Acromioplasty and bursectomy performed arthroscopically to remove bone spurs and inflamed bursa, relieving impingement pain with minimal recovery.
Replaces the damaged humeral head and glenoid surface with metal and plastic components. Highly effective for shoulder arthritis, providing long-lasting pain relief and restored motion.
Designed for patients with massive rotator cuff tears combined with arthritis. The reverse design shifts the mechanical advantage to the deltoid, restoring function even without a functioning rotator cuff.
Repair or reconstruction of the acromioclavicular joint for high-grade separations. Biceps tenodesis reattaches the long head of biceps for pain relief in tenodesing injuries and SLAP tears.
Shoulder pain lasting more than 2–4 weeks, especially with overhead movement or at night
Weakness in the shoulder or difficulty lifting the arm above shoulder height
Shoulder dislocation or a feeling that the shoulder is "slipping out"
Clicking, catching, or grinding sensations in the shoulder joint
Progressively worsening stiffness limiting daily activities like dressing or reaching
Acute injury from a fall, sports impact, or direct blow to the shoulder
Our orthopedic team includes fellowship-trained shoulder and sports medicine specialists with extensive experience in both arthroscopic and reconstructive shoulder procedures.
We offer on-site MRI, CT, and digital X-ray for same-visit imaging, and a conservative-first treatment philosophy — surgery is always the last resort, not the first recommendation. We accept most major insurance plans, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and workers' compensation.
Most new patients can be seen within the same week. Call (714) 598-1745 to schedule your consultation.
The most common shoulder conditions include rotator cuff tears (partial and complete), labral tears (SLAP and Bankart lesions), shoulder impingement, AC joint injuries, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder instability and dislocations, biceps tendon tears, and shoulder arthritis.
No. Many partial rotator cuff tears and some complete tears can be managed with physical therapy, cortisone injections, and activity modification. Surgery is typically recommended for complete tears in active patients, tears that don't respond to 3–6 months of conservative treatment, or acute traumatic tears.
Shoulder replacement replaces the damaged ball-and-socket joint with an artificial implant. It is used for severe shoulder arthritis, complex fractures, or large irreparable rotator cuff tears. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved function.
Recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair typically takes 4–6 months for full recovery. The shoulder is immobilized in a sling for 4–6 weeks, followed by progressive physical therapy. Return to sports or heavy work takes 6–9 months.
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and workers' compensation for shoulder injuries. Our team verifies coverage and handles pre-authorization before your procedure.
Comprehensive sports injury care including ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and return-to-sport protocols.
Total and partial joint replacement for hip, knee, and shoulder arthritis at Restore Orthopedics.
