For Referring Physicians

Areas of Focus

Shoulder

• Shoulder Replacement: Anatomic, reverse and partial shoulder replacement for arthritis and other joint damage, with computer-assisted navigation and robotics.
• Revision Surgery: Care for shoulders that did not do well after a prior operation: failed replacements, failed rotator cuff repairs, recurrent instability and infection.
• Rotator Cuff Surgery: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and reconstruction and tendon transfer options for large or irreparable tears.
• Shoulder Instability: Treatment for dislocations and labral tears, from arthroscopic stabilization to the Latarjet procedure and glenoid reconstruction for bone loss.

Elbow

• Elbow Arthritis: From nonsurgical care to arthroscopic surgery and elbow replacement for painful, worn elbows.
• Elbow Stiffness: Restoring lost motion after an injury, prior surgery or arthritis, including contracture release.
• Elbow Instability & Throwing Injuries: Elbow dislocations, ligament injuries and UCL tears in throwing athletes, including ligament reconstruction.
• Elbow Fractures: Care for distal humerus, radial head and olecranon fractures and complex elbow injuries.

Dr. Joshi also treats the full range of shoulder and elbow conditions, including shoulder fractures, biceps and triceps tendon injuries, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and nerve compression at the elbow. See all conditions and procedures.
