Dr. Kozinn has completed a “Total Joint Replacement Fellowship” at Harvard University, and operates on the hip and shoulder, as well as on the knee. Also a published author and expert in Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery, Dr. Kozinn is now offering his patients the new Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement. Please see our main practice website at www.ScottsdaleJointCenter.com and read more about hip and shoulder replacement. The reverse shoulder now can fix previously unreconstructable shoulder problems by substituting improved implant design mechanics for a massive unrepairable rotator cuff tear. The reverse shoulder allows elevation of the arm by substituting the deltoid muscle for the rotator cuff.
Dr. Kozinn is one of a few surgeons in Arizona with expertise in reverse shoulder replacement
Patients with previously untreatable massive cuff tears and chronic and severe shoulder arthropathy problems now have a new option. We enjoy taking care of all age shoulder patients. Not all shoulder patients require surgery, many younger patients have instability problems that usually are best treated with an extended period of physical therapy and muscle strengthening before surgery is tried as a last resort. For the middle aged weekend warrior however, rotator cuff problems are very common, and Dr. Kozinn is skilled at arthroscopic shoulder surgery and minimally invasive rotator cuff repair.
