Shoulder Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis is a very common condition that causes pain, stiffness, or a grinding sensation in the shoulder. Some patients may hear a clicking or popping noise, and all symptoms are more noticeable when moving. Arthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions joints becomes damaged.
Normally, when two bones come together inside a joint, they are separated by a layer of tough, smooth cartilage. The cartilage allows the bones to glide across each other, which makes movement easier. Cartilage can be damaged by an injury, by an illness such as rheumatoid arthritis, or by simple wear and tear (osteoarthritis). In the shoulder, the two joints most commonly affected are the AC joint (where the shoulder blade and collarbone connect at the outside edge of the shoulder), and the glenohumeral joint (where the arm bone meets the shoulder blade).
Treatment for shoulder arthritis may include:
Surgical treatments include the removal of inflamed tissue and joint reconstruction. The type of arthritis and severity of the damage will determine which treatment is most appropriate.

Calm cool and collected under pressure. Dr. Graf expertly accessed a traumatic injury and made the call to install a reverse replacement device in my shoulder. I pleaded for aid as I golf all the time. He had little to work with inside my arm and shoulder and repaired my mess. His care, staff and follow up have been by me all along and I am golfing and using the shoulder quite well.
Made an expert call on a traumatic injury of my arm and shoulder. Was a technician in installing a reverse replacement shoulder. It works in 5 months like my original shoulder. I have 5 rounds of golf in and I can lift things and function very normally. He and his team have been caring,responsive and on top of all my needs or requests. I can’t not say enough about my gratitude.
