Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery is a highly effective orthopedic procedure designed to relieve chronic pain, restore shoulder function, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe shoulder joint issues. This advanced surgery replaces damaged or diseased parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components, ensuring better movement and long-term relief.


What is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

Shoulder replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the shoulder joint with prosthetic components made of metal and plastic. The procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific condition, and the type of replacement depends on the extent of joint damage.

Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery:

  1. Total Shoulder Replacement (Anatomic): Replaces both the humeral head (upper arm bone) and the glenoid (socket) with prosthetics.
  2. Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Ideal for patients with severe rotator cuff damage; the positions of the ball and socket are reversed to allow other muscles to compensate for the damaged rotator cuff.
  3. Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the damaged humeral head is replaced, leaving the socket intact.
  4. Resurfacing Arthroplasty: A less invasive option where only the damaged joint surface is replaced with a metal cap.

When is Shoulder Replacement Recommended?

This surgery is typically recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Chronic shoulder pain that limits daily activities.
  • Advanced arthritis, including osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Severe fractures or trauma to the shoulder joint.
  • Rotator cuff arthropathy (shoulder arthritis due to a torn rotator cuff).
  • Failed previous shoulder surgeries.

Benefits of Shoulder Replacement Surgery

  • Pain Relief: Significant reduction or elimination of chronic pain.
  • Improved Range of Motion: Enhanced ability to perform daily tasks and recreational activities.
  • Long-Term Results: Modern prosthetic joints last 15-20 years or more.
  • Better Quality of Life: Restores independence and overall functionality.
