Shoulder Replacement Surgery, Total Shoulder Arthroplasty, Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis

In shoulder replacement surgery, the painful surfaces of the damaged shoulder are resurfaced with artificial shoulder parts. The part that replaces the ball consists of a stem with a rounded metal head. The part that replaces the socket consists of a smooth plastic concave shell that matches the round head of the ball. When both sides of the joint are resurfaced, we call it a total shoulder replacement also called Total Shoulder Arthroplasty ((TSA).

Common symptoms of shoulder arthritis include:

• Pain with activities
• Limited range of motion
• Stiffness of the shoulder
• Swelling of the joint
• Tenderness around the joint
• A feeling of grinding or catching within the joint

Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis is a shoulder joint replacement that is implanted into a person’s body when their own shoulder no longer functions properly or causes pain. This procedure is designed for people who have exhausted all other means of repair. When a person gets to this stage of shoulder weakness and pain, changes must be made in the actual mechanics, or workings, of the shoulder.

Shoulder replacement surgery in Indiaa is done at the most medically sophisticated orthopedic surgery hospitals. Like other joint replacement procedures, shoulder replacement surgery is generally done to cure shoulder pain, shoulder fractures and shoulder persistent pain that is not controlled by non-surgical therapy.
