A career built around the cases that demand more.
Dr. Richard Rhodes is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon focused on revision shoulder and knee reconstruction.
25+ years building the experience this work demands.
A practice built specifically for the cases that failed the first time.
Most orthopedic surgeons see revision cases occasionally. Dr. Rhodes built his practice around them. That difference shows up in how a case is read and in the plan that comes back.
Revision ACL and shoulder instability cases almost always fail for a structural reason that was missed or underestimated the first time. Reading the imaging carefully and matching the plan to the actual cause is what makes the second surgery succeed where the first didn't.
