Shoulder reconstruction

Shoulder reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or rebuild the shoulder joint when it's damaged by injury, wear, or disease. The shoulder is a complex joint involving bones, cartilage, ligaments, and muscles that allow a wide range of movement. Reconstruction may involve fixing torn ligaments, replacing damaged cartilage, or repairing fractured bones. The goal is to restore stability, strength, and function of the shoulder, alleviating pain and improving mobility. The specific approach depends on the extent of damage and the patient's needs, with surgery often followed by physical therapy to regain optimal use of the shoulder.
