Shoulder Replacement

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or arthritic shoulder joint is replaced with artificial components. This is typically done to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function in individuals with severe shoulder conditions. The surgery involves removing the deteriorated bone and cartilage and inserting a prosthetic joint made of metal and plastic. Patients often experience significant pain relief and improved quality of life after recovery, allowing them to return to daily activities and enjoy a more active lifestyle. Recovery may involve physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and regain movement.
