What is Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder Replacement is a highly effective procedure for individuals with deteriorated or injured shoulder joints. It replaces damaged components with prosthetic ones, relieving pain and associated symptoms. Initially used for fractures, it’s now preferred for various conditions, including arthritis. Recommended when medications don’t work, surgeons remove damaged fragments to make space for prosthetics.

What are the different types of Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder Joint Replacement procedures encompass a range of options:

  • Anatomic Shoulder Replacement: Both components of the shoulder joint, the ball and socket, are replaced.
  • Partial Shoulder Replacement: Only the ball part of the shoulder joint is replaced.
  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement: A variation of anatomic Shoulder Replacement where the ball part is swapped with a socket and vice versa.
  • Revision Shoulder Replacement: Performed on patients with a history of failed Shoulder
What are the indications that make Shoulder Replacement surgery a recommended option for patients?

A shoulder joint replacement procedure is considered for patients experiencing any of the following:

  • Persistent pain unresponsive to medication
  • Moderate to severe pain hindering daily activities
  • Increasing shoulder pain and discomfort with movement and time
  • Reduced range of motion and mobility in the shoulder These conditions often stem from age-related wear and tear, degenerative joint diseases, or injuries.
What are the advantages of Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder Replacement offers several significant benefits, including:

  • Relief from Pain and Discomfort: Shoulder Replacement effectively alleviates chronic pain and discomfort associated with shoulder joint issues.
  • Improved Function: The procedure enhances the overall function and usability of the shoulder joint, restoring its normal capabilities.
