Surgery Review Video

Dr. Butzen provides a one-of-a-kind service for patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy surgeries, such as rotator cuff repairs, SLAP repairs, and instability procedures.

 

This personalized video review, included at no extra cost, offers a detailed overview of your surgery, including explanations of surgical photos. Typically 5-10 minutes in length (depending on the complexity of the procedure), the video communicates essential surgical details and outlines the next steps in your care plan.

Accessible online, HIPAA-compliant, and password-protected, the video can be rewatched at any time and shared with your physical therapist, family doctor, or loved ones to keep everyone informed about your recovery process.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

Dr. Butzen utilizes advanced PRP therapy to harness your body's natural healing capabilities for treating various orthopedic conditions, including tendon injuries, ligament sprains, and early-stage arthritis. This minimally invasive treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors before being injected into the injured area.

PRP injections are performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, making it an attractive non-surgical treatment option. The concentrated growth factors work to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing while potentially delaying or eliminating the need for more invasive procedures.

Templated Shoulder Replacement

Precision is key to achieving the best outcomes in shoulder replacement surgery. Dr. Butzen enhances surgical accuracy by utilizing advanced CT (CAT) scan technology to create a detailed, 3D impression of your shoulder. This allows for meticulous planning of implant placement, tailored specifically to your anatomy.

By incorporating this state-of-the-art technique, Dr. Butzen ensures improved alignment, functionality, and long-term success for his patients. This approach has become a routine part of his shoulder replacement procedures, contributing to consistently excellent outcomes.
