Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Shoulder Replacement Surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to treat severe shoulder pain and dysfunction caused by arthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint conditions. The procedure involves replacing damaged portions of the shoulder joint with artificial components, helping patients regain comfort, strength, and range of motion.
What is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint that allows a wide range of movement. When the joint becomes severely damaged, everyday activities such as lifting, reaching, or even sleeping can become painful. Shoulder replacement surgery removes the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with prosthetic implants designed to restore smooth and pain-free movement.
Conditions Treated
- Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy

- Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Reverse Shoulder Replacement
