What is Shoulder Replacement ?

<h2>What is Shoulder Replacement ?</h2>

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged part of the upper arm with the help of artificial components called prosthesis. In this procedure, regional anesthesia is administered to the patient. The shoulder is accessed by separating the deltoid and pectoral muscles to minimize nerve damage. A rotator cuff is used to cover the shoulder which is opened by cutting one of the front rotator cuff muscles. The surgeon then views the arthritic parts of the shoulder ball and socket and removes it. The affected part is then replaced with the help of an implant socket, ball, and stem components. The stitches are closed and the incision area is cleaned after which a bandage is applied as a temporary covering.
