ABout Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Shoulder replacement surgery (Shoulder Arthroplasty) involves replacing a severely worn, painful shoulder joint with smooth artificial components. Depending on the condition of your rotator cuff muscles, this can be performed as a standard total shoulder replacement or an advanced reverse shoulder replacement, both designed to abolish deep joint pain and restore fluid arm elevation.

When is Shoulder Replacement Surgery Needed?
Knee Replacement surgery is commonly recommended for patients experiencing degenerative joint disease or advanced wear leaves the shoulder joint in a state of constant, grinding friction that stops you from performing basic upper-body movements.
End-Stage Osteoarthritis
When the protective cartilage of the shoulder is completely worn away, causing painful, audible bone-on-bone grinding during any arm movement.
Cuff Tear Arthropathy
A complex condition where a massive, long-standing rotator cuff tear causes severe, secondary arthritis, leaving the arm completely paralyzed.
Advanced Humeral Head AVN
When the blood supply to the ball of the shoulder joint dies out, causing the bone to collapse, pitting, and lose its round shape.
Un-fixable Comminuted Fractures
When a severe fall shatters the upper arm bone into multiple delicate pieces that cannot be securely put back together with plates and screws.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common question regarding knee replacement surgery, recovery, and treatment planning.
What is a Reverse Shoulder Replacement?
It is an innovative design where the ball is placed on the socket and the socket on the arm. It allows patients with severe cuff tears to lift their arm using the deltoid muscle instead.
How painful is the recovery after shoulder replacement?
While there is temporary post-surgical soreness, it is a different type of pain than the deep, grinding arthritic pain, and it decreases quickly within a couple of weeks.
When can I drive a vehicle after the surgery?
Most patients can safely return to automatic driving once they are completely off prescription pain medications and out of the protective sling, typically at 4 to 6 weeks.
Can I play sports after a shoulder replacement?
Low-impact sports like swimming, golf, doubles tennis, and bowling are safe and manageable. Heavy weightlifting or contact sports should be avoided.
