Total Shoulder Specialists in Arlington & Mansfield, TX

Expert diagnosis and treatment for total shoulder & reverse total shoulder, helping you restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and return to an active lifestyle.

Advanced Total Shoulder Care for Pain Relief & Restored Movement

Shoulder care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the shoulder joint — one of the body’s most mobile joints, responsible for lifting, reaching, rotating, and supporting upper-body movement.

Shoulder pain and stiffness can limit your range of motion, make daily activities difficult, and affect your ability to work, exercise, or sleep comfortably. At TMI Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Surgery, our specialists provide advanced shoulder care focused on diagnosing the source of pain and restoring strength, mobility, and function.

For patients with severe arthritis, rotator cuff damage, or advanced joint degeneration, total shoulder replacement or reverse total shoulder replacement may provide lasting pain relief and improved movement when conservative treatments are no longer effective.

Total Shoulder Replacement vs. Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

Total shoulder replacement is commonly used when the shoulder joint is damaged by arthritis but the rotator cuff is still functioning. During this procedure, the damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components designed to reduce pain and restore smoother movement.

Reverse total shoulder replacement may be recommended when there is severe shoulder arthritis combined with a large or irreparable rotator cuff tear. This procedure changes the mechanics of the shoulder so other muscles, especially the deltoid, can help lift and move the arm more effectively.

For patients with advanced arthritis, joint damage, or rotator cuff-related shoulder dysfunction, shoulder replacement surgery can relieve pain, improve stability, and help restore everyday function.

Our team emphasizes non-surgical care whenever possible, with surgery recommended only when necessary to improve long-term outcomes.

Hip | Frequently Asked Questions

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can be caused by labral tears, arthritis, bursitis, tendon injuries, fractures, or structural conditions like hip impingement.

Do I need surgery for hip pain?

Not always. Many hip conditions can be treated with physical therapy, injections, and non-surgical care. Surgery is only recommended when necessary.

What is hip impingement (FAI)?

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) occurs when abnormal bone structure causes friction in the hip joint, leading to pain and potential labral damage.

How long does it take to recover from hip surgery?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive procedures may require weeks, while hip replacement recovery may take several months.
