Hip Preservation & Arthroscopy

Advanced Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery

Specialized hip preservation focuses on treating structural abnormalities and soft tissue injuries early to relieve mechanical pain, restore mobility, and protect the native joint.

Minimally Invasive

Hip arthroscopy

High-definition camera visualization through small portals to diagnose and treat intra-articular pathology without large open incisions.

Joint Preservation

Labral tears

Anatomic refixation and labral reconstruction techniques designed to restore the suction seal of the hip joint and prevent early degeneration.

Bone Resection & Contouring

Femoroacetabular impingement

Precise fluoroscopic and arthroscopic bone reshaping (cam and pincer decompression) to eliminate bone-on-bone conflict and restore full range of motion.

Comprehensive Care

Hip preservation

Capsular closure, cartilage restoration, and tailored rehabilitation protocols to protect natural anatomy and prolong long-term joint life.

SHOULDER RECONSTRUCTION

Restoring shoulder stability and function

Arthroscopic repair and shoulder replacement designed to resolve chronic instability, repair torn tissue, and restore full strength for outdoor recreation and daily work.

Fellowship-trained shoulder care

With medical training at Cornell, orthopedic residency at Harvard, a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford, experience caring for elite athletes with the San Francisco 49ers, and his current role as team physician for the Montana State Bobcats, Dr. Beamer provides precision shoulder techniques ranging from complex arthroscopic stabilization to total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Arthroscopic
Rotator cuff and instability procedures

Minimally invasive arthroscopic repair to anchor torn tendons, stabilize labral tears, and restore natural overhead mobility.

Joint Preservation
Biceps tenodesis and labral repair

Targeted anatomical fixation to relieve anterior shoulder pain and repair superior labral (SLAP) tears from acute or repetitive strain.

Reconstruction
Arthroscopic repair and shoulder replacement

Precision reconstruction for active individuals, from anatomic joint replacement to reverse shoulder arthroplasty for complex cuff-tear arthropathy.

Sports Medicine
Shoulder instability and capsule tightening

Bankart repair, capsular plication, and bone augmentation procedures to prevent recurrent dislocations in contact and mountain athletes.

Knee & Ligament Specialty

Elite knee preservation & ligament repair

From high-speed Big Sky turns to backcountry trails, knee stability demands surgical precision. Dr. Beamer delivers evidence-backed joint preservation and reconstructive techniques engineered for peak recovery.

First surgeon in Montana to perform & teach BEAR ACL repair

ACL reconstruction

Anatomic Technique

Personalized graft selection and anatomic tunnel placement to restore native knee stability and biomechanics.

Patellar tendon, quadricep tendon, and hamstring autografts tailored to athletic goals.

BEAR ACL implant surgery

First in Montana

Bridge-Enhanced ACL Restoration uses a resorbable protein-based implant to stimulate the torn ligament to heal itself.

Maintains natural joint biology with no tendon graft harvesting required.

Multi-ligament reconstruction

Complex Trauma

Comprehensive surgical management for high-energy knee dislocations and combined ligament ruptures.

Precision anatomical reconstruction of MCL, PCL, LCL, and posterolateral corner structures.

Complex meniscus repair & restoration

Joint Preservation

Advanced repair patterns and biologic augmentation to preserve shock-absorbing cartilage.

Includes meniscus root repairs, circumferential stitch matrices, and meniscus transplant.
