He completed his internship and residency in orthopaedic surgery at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon.

Following graduation, he went on to complete a prestigious fellowship in adult joint reconstruction and arthroplasty.

Shoulder Surgery In Redding For Ben Weaver, football has been a major focus for most of his life. In fact, he calls himself a "Football Nerd". As a kid he loved to toss the ball around with his siblings, he played in high school and college and even played on a semi-pro team while working at his current job as Assistant Coach at Shasta College. So when Ben dislocated and separated his shoulder and could no longer throw the ball to his team during practice, he went right to Dr. Schillen at Shasta Orthopaedics who found he had a torn labrum, torn rotator cuff and a bone chip in his shoulder. At the time Ben's wife had a baby on the way so Ben delayed the operation for 6 months.

For many years, patients suffering from arthritic ankles and bone-on-bone pain had limited options: live with the pain, or have the bones fused. Relatively recent advancements in new technologies and surgical techniques have since opened up new options for treatment of osteoarthritis in ankles including the more traditional open ankle fusion (arthrodesis), arthroscopic ankle fusion, and joint replacement (also called total ankle replacement or TAR).

While choice of treatment options is encouraging, making a decision about which option to select is not always easy, and is usually affected by a patient's personal circumstances.
