Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery is recommended when severe arthritis, fractures, or long-standing joint damage cause persistent pain and stiffness that no longer respond to other treatments. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with smooth artificial components, allowing the shoulder to move comfortably again.

Symptoms

Constant shoulder pain even at rest, significant stiffness, difficulty performing everyday tasks such as dressing or reaching overhead, and pain that disturbs sleep are common reasons patients consider shoulder replacement.

Types

Depending on the extent of joint and tendon damage, options include total shoulder replacement, which resurfaces both sides of the joint, and reverse shoulder replacement, which is often recommended when the rotator cuff is also severely damaged.

Treatment and Process

During surgery, the damaged ends of the joint are carefully removed and replaced with durable implants designed to recreate natural shoulder movement. The choice of implant and technique is tailored to each patient’s bone quality, tendon condition, and activity needs. A guided physical therapy program after surgery is essential to regain strength and achieve the best possible range of motion.
