When surgery didn't turn out as expected, experience matters.
Dr. Richard Rhodes performs primary repair for shoulders and knees, and focuses on revision ACL reconstruction and complex shoulder instability: the cases most surgeons don't take on. If a prior surgery left you with instability, pain or no clear answer, he can take a look.
Surgery isn't supposed to feel like this.
Roughly 1 in 10 ACL and shoulder reconstructions fail. If any of these sound familiar, there's likely a specific reason and a specific fix.
Your knee still feels unstable or gives way after ACL surgery.
Your shoulder continues to dislocate after a stabilization procedure.
You can't return to your sport and no one can tell you why.
You've been told there are no more options.
Built for the cases standard treatment has failed.
Dr. Rhodes rebuilds the knee and the shoulder: the two joints where a first surgery most often falls short. If either sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Two decades focused on the cases that demand more.
Dr. Richard Rhodes built his practice around the cases most surgeons refer away. He serves as team surgeon for the Dallas Wings and consultant to the NFL Players Association. His patients come from across the country.
