Shoulder

Shoulder injuries and conditions can appear in many forms, whether sports-related or as a result of joint deterioration. However, all shoulder injuries and conditions can be treated by an orthopedic doctor or sports medicine surgeon who specializes in the shoulder joint. Our specialty-trained shoulder doctors at Aspen Orthopedic Specialists often care for patients with fractured clavicles (collarbones), tendonitis (tendinitis), and dislocations of the shoulder as well as sports medicine injuries, such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tears.

Shoulder surgery is not required for all shoulder injuries or conditions, but it may be recommended if your condition or injury is not responding to conservative treatment options. Our shoulder surgeons have extensive training and experience in performing wide-ranging treatments through nonsurgical and surgical options, such as shoulder arthroscopy or shoulder replacement surgeries.
