Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Total shoulder replacement, or total shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged shoulder joint with an artificial implant. This is typically recommended when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and injections have failed to provide relief.

Who Needs a Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder replacement surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments, such as physical therapy and pain medications, have failed to alleviate persistent shoulder pain and dysfunction. Several conditions may necessitate this procedure:

• Individuals with Severe Osteoarthritis: Those experiencing chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to degenerative joint conditions may benefit from shoulder replacement surgery.
• Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: People suffering from autoimmune disorders that cause inflammation in the joints often require shoulder replacement to alleviate pain and restore function.
• Athletes with Recurrent Shoulder Injuries: Athletes who have sustained multiple injuries or have chronic instability in the shoulder joint may need a replacement to regain full functionality.
• Individuals with Rotator Cuff Tears: Patients with large, irreparable rotator cuff tears that do not respond to conservative treatments may consider shoulder replacement as an option for pain relief and improved motion.
• Older Adults with Fractured Shoulders: Elderly individuals who have experienced significant fractures in the shoulder joint might require a replacement if their bones are severely damaged and healing is inadequate.
