Our Practice
Shoulder Replacement Surgery
For patients with severe arthritis of the shoulder who have not achieved pain relief from non-operative treatments, or who have had a severe fracture, a total shoulder replacement is often an option. The surgeon replaces the damaged or arthritic joint surfaces with a highly-polished metal ball attached to a stem, and a plastic socket. In cases where the ball is severely fractured and the socket is normal, the surgeon may replace only the ball.
As with any joint replacement surgery, a rehabilitation program that includes physical therapy and home exercises is key to a successful recovery.
