If you are dealing with ongoing joint pain or a sports injury that limits your daily life, knowing your options for orthopedic procedures can help you take the next step. Dr. Reza Jazayeri is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon with a clinical focus on the shoulder, knee, and elbow. He brings over 15 years of experience treating athletes and active adults across the Greater Los Angeles area.
His practice offers detailed procedure pages for shoulder, knee, elbow, hamstring, and Orhtobiologic Treatments (PRP, BMAC, A2M, etc.), so you can review your options clearly before making any decision. He always explores non-surgical paths first and uses minimally invasive techniques when surgery becomes necessary.
Overview Of Orthopedic Procedures Offered
Orthopedic procedures address problems in the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Dr. Jazayeri focuses on surgical and non-surgical care for the shoulder, knee, and elbow. His approach starts with a thorough evaluation to understand the source of your pain or limited movement.
Many conditions improve with physical therapy, targeted injections, or regenerative medicine. When those methods are not enough, he discusses surgical options that fit your specific injury and activity goals.
His practice serves patients throughout Los Angeles, with convenient access from Beverly Hills and surrounding communities. Virtual consultations are also available for patients across California and beyond.
Types Of Joint Replacement Surgeries Available
Joint replacement surgery removes damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with artificial components. Dr. Jazayeri performs shoulder and for patients whose joints have worn down from arthritis, injury, or years of heavy use. These procedures can reduce pain and help you return to everyday activities.
He uses preoperative lab testing to check vitamin D levels, inflammatory markers, and muscle status before surgery. This metabolic optimization is a standard part of his surgical protocol, preparing your body for the procedure and supporting a smoother recovery. Joint replacement is considered when other treatments no longer provide relief.
Details On ACL Reconstruction Techniques
ACL reconstruction repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, a common injury in sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or sudden stops. Dr. Jazayeri uses his Biologically Optimized ACL Technique, known as the BOAT Protocol. This framework combines precise surgical reconstruction with biologic augmentation and a structured recovery plan.
The technique draws on his sports medicine fellowship training at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic and his years of experience treating competitive athletes and combat sports practitioners. He also incorporates prehabilitation, conditioning the knee before surgery to build strength and improve post-operative outcomes. The BOAT Protocol reflects his focus on musculoskeletal longevity and long-term knee health.
Insights Into Arthroscopic Surgery Benefits
Arthroscopic surgery uses a small camera and thin instruments inserted through tiny incisions. This approach allows Dr. Jazayeri to see inside your joint and treat damage without large openings. He applies arthroscopic techniques across shoulder, knee, and elbow procedures.
The benefits include less tissue disruption, smaller scars, and often a quicker return to movement compared to open surgery. Arthroscopy can address labral tears, rotator cuff injuries, meniscus damage, and loose cartilage.
Dr. Jazayeri’s minimally invasive surgical approach is a core part of his practice. He uses it whenever it is appropriate for your condition and anatomy.
Shoulder Surgery Options For Patients
Shoulder surgery can address rotator cuff tears, instability, arthritis, and fractures. Dr. Jazayeri offers several shoulder procedures, including arthroscopic repairs and shoulder replacement. His Bio-Fertilization Technique combines biologic augmentation with intraosseous modulation and metabolic optimization to support healing at the surgical site.
This proprietary framework is part of his broader commitment to musculoskeletal longevity. He also uses PRP and stem cell augmentation when appropriate.
Whether you are a recreational athlete, a fighter, or someone who wants to lift groceries without pain, he will walk you through the options. His detailed shoulder procedure pages help patients in the Greater Los Angeles area understand each approach.
Elbow Procedures For Enhanced Mobility
Elbow problems can make simple tasks like gripping, lifting, or typing difficult. Dr. Jazayeri treats elbow conditions ranging from tennis elbow and ligament injuries to fractures and arthritis. He applies the same non-surgical-first philosophy to elbow care, using therapy and injections before considering surgery.
When an elbow procedure is needed, he uses minimally invasive techniques to protect surrounding tissues. His experience with combat sports medicine gives him unique insight into high-demand elbow injuries. He serves as faculty at the Smith+Nephew UFC Combat Sports Medicine Course, which keeps him current on advanced treatment strategies for athletes and active adults across Los Angeles.
Post-Operative Care And Recovery Tips
Recovery after orthopedic procedures depends on the type of surgery, your overall health, and how closely you follow your rehabilitation plan. Dr. Jazayeri provides pre-op and post-op instruction pages for every procedure. He also offers a digital rehab partnership with myHealthTrack, a remote recovery program that helps you stay on track between office visits.
His recovery optimization guidance covers sleep, rehabilitation exercises, and nutrition. He publishes clinically authored content on his blog about topics like orthobiologics for hamstring injuries and in-season athlete management. The practice serves patients in Los Angeles and offers virtual follow-ups for those who cannot travel to the office easily.

Thank you so much Doctor Jazayeri! I tore my Bicep recently, I needed to have the surgery right away, Doctor Jazayeri made time to get me on schedule right away. While meeting with me before surgery he discovered the possibility of rotator cuff damage and asked if I would like him to fix any damage if he found it nessary. I agreed and he not only fixed my bicep but also my rotator cuff. I’m about 8 weeks into my recovery and I feel great. I can’t believe how fast I’ve recovered and I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Doctor Jazayeri. Thank you again for all you have done for me.
