Shoulder Arthritis
& Replacement
When arthritis limits your shoulder function, total shoulder replacement (TSA) or reverse total shoulder replacement can restore it — but surgery is never the first conversation. Dr. Thon evaluates every patient for the full range of non-operative options before a replacement is ever on the table. Learn about shoulder arthritis, treatment options, and when shoulder replacement is most appropriate.

Regenerative Treatments
for the Shoulder
Before surgery is considered, regenerative options like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and BMAC can support healing and symptoms in the right candidates. Regenerative options can reduce pain and improve function without an operating room. Dr. Thon evaluates every shoulder patient for the full picture, including whether regenerative treatments are a real option for your specific condition.
