Michel A. Arcand MD, Clinical Assisant Professor of Orthopaedics, is a fellowship-trained, board certified orthopedic sports medicine surgeon specializing in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery as well as Sports Medicine.
Dr. Arcand treats a wide range of Shoulder and Elbow conditions. He treats degenerative shoulder and elbow conditions as well as sports related injuries, with both operative and non-operative methods, specializing in the upper extremities. Typical injuries include rotator cuff tears and impingement, shoulder dislocations, arthritis, fractures as well as ligament tears. Dr. Arcand takes great care in providing each patient with an individual treatment plan with the goal of restoring function and the return to an active and healthy life style.

I am interested in research related to the shoulder and elbow. I am currently working on a study that attempts to evaluate the role of proprioception in rotator cuff disease. We are using joint position sense to measure proprioception before and after rotator cuff repair. We hope to evaluate if there is potential decrease of joint position sense in the presence of a rotator cuff tears. We will then reevaluate the patients after rotator cuff repair and see if there is a return of joint position sense.
I am also interested in the role of sex hormones on tendon injuries. We are using a national database to elucidate the possible roles that sex hormones have on upper and lower extremity tendons. We are also trying ot compare the surgical experience of our group with this national database study to see if there are diferences in complication rates.
I am interested in the biomechanical performance of various devices used in the surgical treatment of the shoulder and elbow. This includes 3D printed devices and their performance. I am also interested in the use of robots and navication in shoulder arthroplasty.
