Our multidisciplinary team works closely with patients throughout their treatment journey, from diagnosis and pre-surgical evaluation to surgery and post-operative rehabilitation.
What is a Shoulder Replacement?
A shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or worn-out shoulder joint with an artificial implant made of metal and plastic components. It is considered the preferred treatment option for patients with severe shoulder arthritis or joint damage because it can significantly relieve pain and restore normal shoulder function.
Understanding Shoulder Joint Damage
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint responsible for enabling a wide range of movement such as lifting, rotating, and reaching. It consists of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bone that work together for smooth, pain-free motion.
When the cartilage wears down or the joint is damaged, it leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Shoulder damage may occur due to:
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
- Severe shoulder injury
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Avascular necrosis
- Complex shoulder fractures
- Failed previous shoulder surgery
When shoulder function declines to a critical level and conservative treatments no longer help, a shoulder replacement may become the most effective treatment option.
When is a Shoulder Replacement Recommended?
A shoulder replacement may be recommended for patients experiencing:
- Severe shoulder pain limiting daily activities
- Advanced osteoarthritis or arthritis
- Failure of conservative treatments
- Chronic shoulder stiffness
- Loss of shoulder function/mobility
- Reduced quality of life due to shoulder pain
