Shoulder Arthroplasty

Shoulder arthroplasty, or shoulder joint replacement, is a surgical procedure to replace damaged or worn-out parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. It’s typically performed due to severe arthritis, fractures, or other conditions causing significant pain and limited movement. The surgery involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage and inserting a prosthesis that mimics the natural joint. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function, allowing patients to return to daily activities. Recovery involves physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and regain range of motion over time.
