Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement, also called shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components (implants). It's often recommended for patients who have severe pain or limited movement due to arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or fractures that haven’t healed properly.
When Is It Needed?
You may be a candidate for shoulder replacement if you have:
Severe shoulder pain that limits everyday activities
Stiffness or weakness in the shoulder
No improvement with medications, therapy, or injections
Shoulder joint damage from arthritis, injury, or bone diseases
Types of Shoulder Replacement
1. Total Shoulder Replacement Replaces both the ball (humeral head) and the socket (glenoid) with artificial implants.
Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) Only the ball part of the joint is replaced.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement The positions of the ball and socket are switched. This is often used when the rotator cuff is severely damaged.
