Areas of Specialty

Before Dr. Marx recommends surgery, he believes in examining every possible option. Because he is a former shoulder surgery patient who has experienced the process firsthand, he considers all nonoperative scenarios. Where surgery is required, Dr. Marx works to get the patients back to optimum health.

Dr. Marx has treated thousands of knee and shoulder injuries. He does arthroscopic and open procedures for knee and shoulder problems as well as knee and shoulder joint replacement surgery. Dr. Marx also performs complex and revision surgical cases.

• Shoulder Surgery for Dislocation or Trauma
  This includes surgery to stabilize shoulders following dislocation or fractures after trauma. Dr. Marx specializes in revision surgery for failed dislocation repairs.
  
  
• Rotator Cuff Repair
  Dr. Marx performs rotator cuff repair surgery arthroscopically for small and large tears to eliminate pain and improve strength in injured shoulders. The arthroscopic approach involved four small incisions each measuring less than a centimeter.
  
  
• Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy
  Dr. Marx performs knee arthroscopy with meniscus surgery and meniscus transplantation. Dr. Marx repairs or removes torn sections of the meniscus arthroscopically. He also performs osteotomy (leg realignment), transplants and complex knee-revision surgery.
  
  
• ACL Reconstruction
  Using arthroscopic technique, Dr. Marx reconstructs the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee (ACL). These injuries are often caused by sports injuries. He uses all techniques and graft sources, including patellar tendon, hamstrings and transplant. He also performs revision surgery for failed ACL reconstruction.
  
  
• Shoulder and Knee Replacement
  These procedures are performed for arthritic joints when pain and limitation of movement prevent normal function. Joint replacement surgery can allow patients who are limited by their arthritis to return to a more active and normal lifestyle.
