Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to replace damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. It is typically performed to relieve pain and improve function caused by arthritis, injury, or damage to the joint. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged bone and cartilage from the humeral head (upper arm bone) and the socket in the shoulder blade, replacing them with metal and plastic implants. The goal is to restore joint movement, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Recovery involves rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.
