Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged shoulder joint with an artificial implant. This surgery is aimed at relieving pain, restoring function, and improving the range of motion for patients suffering from arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative conditions. Modern shoulder replacement techniques ensure faster recovery and long-lasting results.
Why Shoulder Replacement is Needed
- Severe osteoarthritis causing chronic pain and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory joint diseases.
- Post-traumatic shoulder damage after fractures or injuries.
- Loss of shoulder mobility affecting daily activities like lifting, dressing, or reaching.
- Rotator cuff tear arthropathy, where the shoulder’s muscles and tendons are severely damaged.
Benefits
- Relief from persistent shoulder pain.
- Improved range of motion and strength.
- Enhanced ability to perform daily activities.
- Long-term solution for joint degeneration.
- Minimally invasive options available for faster recovery.
- Reduced dependence on pain medications.
- High success rate with modern implants.
- Can delay or prevent further complications in the shoulder joint.
