Surgical & Nonsurgical Treatments

Dr. Levin offers a full range of minimally invasive arthroscopic and open surgical procedures, as well as nonsurgical treatments tailored to each patient's goals and lifestyle.

01

Anatomic Total Shoulder Replacement

Replaces the damaged humeral head with a metal ball and the worn socket with a plastic component. Restores natural anatomy. The rotator cuff muscles control motion, strength, and stability.

02

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

A reverse total shoulder replacement is not a normal shoulder. It reverses the ball-and-socket anatomy — a metal ball is placed on the shoulder socket and a plastic cup on the upper arm bone. This allows the deltoid muscle (instead of the rotator cuff) to power the arm. Goals are to reduce pain and improve function; motion and strength vary from person to person.

03

Rotator Cuff Repair

Surgery to reattach a torn rotator cuff tendon to the bone. Most repairs are done all-arthroscopically through small incisions; mini-open technique is used rarely when needed. Related problems such as biceps tendon issues can often be addressed during the same procedure.

04

Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer

A tendon transfer that repositions the lower trapezius muscle to take over lost rotator cuff function. Uses a tendon graft to connect the transferred muscle to the upper arm bone. Designed to restore shoulder strength and control when the rotator cuff cannot be repaired.

05

Biceps Tenodesis

Minimally invasive arthroscopic biceps tenodesis to treat biceps tendonitis and SLAP tears.

06

Shoulder Stabilization Surgery

Arthroscopic or open procedures to repair torn labrum and tighten stretched ligaments (capsule) that hold the shoulder in its socket. Includes bone augmentation procedures (Latarjet) for bone loss cases.

07

Biceps & Triceps Tendon Repair

Surgical reattachment of torn biceps or triceps tendons at the shoulder or elbow. Techniques include cortical button fixation and suture anchor repair for durable healing.

08

Fracture Surgery (Shoulder & Elbow)

Operative fixation of proximal humerus fractures (plates, screws, nails) and elbow fractures. In severe cases where the bone cannot be reconstructed, shoulder replacement may be performed.

09

Elbow Replacement

Replacing the damaged elbow joint with artificial components to relieve pain and restore motion. Options include total or partial elbow replacement depending on the extent of damage.

10

Revision Surgery (Shoulder & Elbow)

Complex procedures to correct or improve the outcome of a previous surgery that has failed, become infected, or worn out. Includes revision of rotator cuff repairs, shoulder replacements, and stabilizations.
