Shoulder joint replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve pain and restore mobility in individuals suffering from severe shoulder problems. At Maruti Orthopedic Hospital, we specialize in providing comprehensive orthopedic care, ensuring our patients receive the highest quality treatment and support.

Understanding Shoulder Joint Replacement

Shoulder joint replacement involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder with artificial components, known as prostheses. This surgery is typically recommended for patients experiencing chronic pain and limited mobility due to conditions such as:

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease causing the breakdown of cartilage and bones.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder leading to inflammation and joint damage.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis resulting from a severe shoulder injury or fracture.
• Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy: A condition caused by a massive, untreated rotator cuff tear.
• Avascular Necrosis: The death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply, often leading to joint collapse.

The Surgical Procedure

Shoulder replacement surgery can be categorized into three main types:

1. Total Shoulder Replacement: Both the ball (humeral head) and the socket (glenoid) are replaced with prosthetic components.
2. Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball is replaced.
3. Reverse Shoulder Replacement: The positions of the ball and socket are switched, a technique used primarily for patients with severe rotator cuff tears.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the shoulder, removes the damaged bone and cartilage, and implants the prosthetic components. The surgery typically takes about two hours and is followed by a period of recovery and rehabilitation.

Benefits of Shoulder Replacement Surgery

The primary benefits of shoulder replacement surgery include:

• Pain Relief: Significant reduction or complete elimination of shoulder pain.
• Improved Mobility: Restoration of shoulder function and range of motion.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Ability to return to daily activities and hobbies without discomfort.
• Long-Lasting Results: Modern prosthetic components are designed to last many years, offering sustained relief.
