Interests
Dr. Schoch is extremely active in the development and evaluation of new technologies in shoulder replacement surgery. He has been extremely active in evaluating outcomes following shoulder replacement, based on his high volume shoulder replacement practice. As a member of the design team for one of the largest commercial shoulder arthroplasty companies, he has access to the newest available technologies and routinely evaluates these advances to improve patient outcomes after surgery.
In addition to a large shoulder replacement practice, Dr. Schoch also has a clinical interest in procedures that can prevent shoulder replacement and allow patients return to function using joint preserving techniques. These include superior capsular reconstruction, local tendon transfers (lower trapezius transfer) and cell based therapies (PRP, BMAC).
