What is Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged shoulder joint with a high-quality artificial implant. The procedure is designed to relieve pain, restore smooth joint movement, and improve overall function.
✅ Eliminates Shoulder Pain & Stiffness
✅ Restores Strength & Range of Motion
✅ Enhances Mobility & Daily Functionality
Who Needs Shoulder Replacement?
You may be a candidate for shoulder replacement if you experience:
✔ Severe Shoulder Pain – Persistent pain that affects sleep and daily activities.
✔ Advanced Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis – Joint damage leading to stiffness and discomfort.
✔ Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy – Severe damage to the rotator cuff causing joint instability.
✔ Shoulder Fracture or Trauma – Damage that affects joint stability and function.
✔ Failure of Non-Surgical Treatments – No relief from medications, injections, or physiotherapy.
Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery:
✅ Total Shoulder Replacement (Anatomic TSA):
- Replaces both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) of the shoulder joint.
- Best for arthritis with intact rotator cuff muscles.
✅ Reverse Shoulder Replacement (RSA):
- Reverses the natural ball-and-socket structure for better stability.
- Ideal for rotator cuff tears, severe arthritis, or failed previous surgery.
✅ Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty):
- Only the humeral head (ball) is replaced.
- Suitable for certain fractures or mild arthritis.
What Happens During Shoulder Replacement?
1️⃣ Damaged bone and cartilage are removed from the shoulder joint.
2️⃣ A high-quality artificial implant (metal, ceramic, or plastic) is placed.
3️⃣ The new shoulder joint allows for smooth, pain-free movement.
4️⃣ Patients typically start gentle movement within a few days with guided rehabilitation.
