What is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces the damaged shoulder joint with an artificial implant. It is an effective solution for severe arthritis, fractures, and rotator cuff damage that do not respond to non-surgical treatments.

Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery

We offer different types of shoulder replacement procedures based on the patient's condition:

• Total Shoulder Replacement – Replaces both the ball and socket of the shoulder joint with artificial components.
• Reverse Shoulder Replacement – Recommended for patients with severe rotator cuff damage; reverses the ball-and-socket structure for improved function.
• Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) – Only the damaged part of the shoulder joint is replaced, preserving healthy tissue.
• Shoulder Resurfacing – A less invasive option where only the joint surface is replaced.



Who Needs Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

You may be a candidate for shoulder replacement surgery if you experience:

✅ Severe shoulder pain that limits daily activities
✅ Loss of shoulder mobility and stiffness
✅ Chronic arthritis or joint degeneration
✅ Frequent shoulder dislocations or instability
✅ Failed previous shoulder surgeries

If non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections no longer provide relief, shoulder replacement surgery may be the best solution.
