SHOULDER REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring function in a damaged or diseased shoulder joint. It is typically recommended for individuals with severe shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or fractures that have not responded to non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections.
During shoulder replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged parts of the shoulder joint, including the humeral head (the ball) and the glenoid (the socket). These are replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic. There are different types of shoulder replacement procedures, including total shoulder replacement, partial shoulder replacement, and reverse shoulder replacement, depending on the specific condition and the needs of the patient.
SHOULDER REPLACEMENT SURGERY
The primary goal of shoulder replacement surgery is to alleviate pain, improve shoulder function, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with debilitating shoulder conditions. By replacing the damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic implants, patients often experience significant reductions in shoulder pain and stiffness, as well as improvements in range of motion, strength, and stability.
Candidates for shoulder replacement surgery typically include individuals who have persistent shoulder pain, weakness, and limited range of motion that significantly impacts their daily activities and quality of life. Factors such as age, overall health, extent of shoulder damage, and the individual’s ability to participate in postoperative rehabilitation are considered when determining suitability for the procedure. Orthopedic surgeons carefully evaluate each patient’s condition and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, which may include shoulder replacement surgery to improve the patient’s functional outcomes and overall well-being.
