Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased shoulder joint is replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. This surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, do not effectively manage pain and disability in the shoulder.

Indications

  • Arthritis:

    Shoulder arthritis, whether osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other types, can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder joint.

  • Fractures:

    Severe fractures of the upper arm bone (humerus) near the shoulder joint may necessitate shoulder replacement surgery.

  • Rotator Cuff Tears:

    In cases of massive rotator cuff tears that cannot be repaired, a shoulder replacement may be considered.

Types of Shoulder Replacement:

  • Total Shoulder Replacement:

    In this procedure, both the ball (head of the humerus) and the socket (glenoid) of the shoulder joint are replaced with prosthetic components.

  • Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty):

    Only the ball part of the shoulder joint is replaced with a prosthesis, leaving the natural socket intact. This is typically done when the socket is still healthy.

  • Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement:

    This procedure is used for patients with massive rotator cuff tears. It involves reversing the positions of the ball and socket components in the shoulder joint.

I'd been suffering from rotator cuff problems for years. The pain was unbearable. After a reverse total shoulder replacement, I can now raise my arm and do everyday tasks pain-free. It's a relief like no other.
