Specialty Procedures
Elbow Arthroscopy
A minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Mora to visualize and treat elbow joint problems through small incisions rather than an open approach. Used to address loose bodies, cartilage damage, and impingement, arthroscopy typically means less soft tissue disruption and a more direct path back to training or daily activity than traditional open surgery requires.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Using small incisions and a camera-guided approach, shoulder arthroscopy lets Dr. Mora directly assess and repair damage inside the joint — from cartilage tears to impingement — with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. It's often the first surgical step in addressing shoulder problems that haven't resolved with conservative care, and frequently pairs with more targeted repair procedures.
Rotator Cuff Repair with Advanced Augmentation
For rotator cuff tears where standard repair alone may not hold up — particularly in athletes or larger, more complex tears — Dr. Mora incorporates augmentation techniques to reinforce the repair site. This approach is built for patients who need the reconstruction to withstand real physical demand, not just heal on paper.
Shoulder Labral Repair and Stabilization
The labrum stabilizes the shoulder joint, and damage to it often shows up as instability, dislocation, or a shoulder that no longer feels trustworthy under load. Dr. Mora repairs and reinforces the labral tissue to restore joint stability — a procedure especially relevant for grapplers and overhead athletes whose sport depends on a shoulder that stays in place.
Knee Ligament Repair
Ligament injuries — from ACL tears to less common but equally disabling damage — are addressed based on the specific structure involved and the demands the patient plans to return to. Dr. Mora's approach centers on restoring the knee's actual mechanical stability, not simply closing the injury, so athletes and active patients can trust the joint again.
Operative and Non-Operative Treatment of Arthritis
Not every arthritic joint needs surgery, and Dr. Mora treats accordingly — beginning with non-operative options where they can genuinely help, and moving to surgical intervention only when the diagnosis supports it. The goal is matching the treatment to the joint's actual condition, not defaulting to the most aggressive option available.
Regenerative Treatment, Including High-Concentration Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
For patients seeking to support healing without surgery, Dr. Mora offers regenerative treatments including high-concentration PRP, which uses the body's own platelets to promote tissue repair. These therapies are often used alongside — or ahead of — more invasive options, particularly for patients still early in their treatment journey.
PecFlexFix™ Grafting Technique
Developed by Dr. Mora, the PecFlexFix™ grafting technique is a proprietary method for pectoralis major repair and reconstruction, engineered for cases where conventional repair isn't sufficient to restore full strength and function. It reflects his broader philosophy: when the standard approach doesn't fit the injury, the injury should determine the technique — not the reverse.
Pectoralis Major Tendon Repair
When the pectoralis major tendon tears away from the bone, timely and precise repair makes the difference between a full return to strength and a lasting deficit. Dr. Mora reattaches the tendon to its native footprint with an approach built around the demands of the patient's sport or work, so the repair is designed to hold up under real load — not just to close the injury.
Pectoralis Major Repair and Reconstruction
A pectoralis major tear is a career-altering injury for many athletes, and one frequently missed or mismanaged by providers unfamiliar with it. Dr. Mora repairs and reconstructs the pectoralis major to restore strength and function, drawing on a level of experience with this specific injury that most orthopedic practices don't regularly see.
Ultra-Chronic Pectoralis Major Tendon Reconstruction
For pectoralis major tears that have gone untreated well beyond the typical surgical window, standard repair techniques often aren't enough. Dr. Mora's approach to ultra-chronic reconstruction is built specifically for these delayed, more complex cases — patients frequently told by others that too much time has passed for a real fix.
Ultra-Chronic Pectoralis Major Reconstruction with PecFlexFix™
For pectoralis major injuries that have gone untreated for years, the tendon and muscle have often retracted or degenerated beyond what direct repair can address. Using his PecFlexFix™ grafting technique, Dr. Mora reconstructs these ultra-chronic tears with graft tissue to rebuild the tendon connection and restore strength and function — giving patients who were told it was too late a genuine surgical option.
Chronic Tendon Reconstruction
Tendon injuries left untreated for extended periods present differently than acute ones, often requiring reconstruction rather than simple repair. Dr. Mora evaluates each chronic tendon injury on its own terms, building a surgical plan around the tissue's actual condition rather than applying a standard timeline-based protocol to a nonstandard case.
OrthoAesthetics™
OrthoAesthetics™ reflects Dr. Mora's belief that a truly successful outcome is both functional and aesthetic — not one or the other. It's a level of attention that runs through every stage of care: preoperative health and nutrition, precise surgical technique, thoughtful incision placement, and meticulous closure. The goal isn't just repairing what's damaged, but restoring anatomy, strength, and the body's natural appearance together.
Chest Wall Muscle Restoration
When the pectoralis major or surrounding chest wall musculature has been torn, detached, or lost its normal contour, the result is more than a strength deficit — it changes how the chest looks and how the shoulder moves under load. Dr. Mora restores the muscle to its proper attachment and shape, addressing function and appearance together so patients can return to training and daily life with a chest wall that works and looks the way it should.
Do you need a second opinion?
The consultation is not a sales process. It is a workup. If reconstruction is right, that will be the recommendation. If repair is viable, a plan gets built. Either way, the patient leaves with a clinical answer, not a calendar date.
