Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

Shoulder replacement is a surgical intervention that removes damaged parts of the shoulder joint, usually due to severe pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury. Severe pain, weakness, and stiffness are the main indictors for this procedure that end up transforming life through ability to work freely without having to worry about movement restriction.

In the human anatomy there exists a ball-and-socket joint (shoulder) whereby the round head (ball) of the upper arm bone fits well into a shallow dent at the shoulder blade. However damages on this joint can limit movements causing affected persons have poor qualities of life. The provided shoulder replacements have been designed in such a way that they restore original functioning and relieve pain by when replacing damaged surfaces with prosthesis.

There are several types of implants including partial (one part) replacements where only the ball is replaced or total replacements where both ball and socket joints are replaced. Also, there’s an option for anatomic implants which imitate how natural joints look like or alternatively reverse ones where the socket position and ball are exchanged thus increasing stability for certain conditions.

Before scheduling shoulder replacement surgery, it is essential to converse about the signs you experience, aspirations as well as choices with your physician. They have an ability to advise you on the appropriate method that suits your case so that it serves its purpose and enhances the operation of your arm joint.
