Total shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure in which worn or damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components, restoring smooth and comfortable movement.
Joint Surface Replacement: Metal and plastic components replace worn bone and cartilage.
Proven Implant Designs: Long-lasting materials engineered for durability.
Accurate Positioning: Image-guided techniques ensure proper alignment.
Anatomic Shoulder Replacement
Standard procedure that maintains normal shoulder mechanics. Ideal when the rotator cuff remains intact.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Alternative design for torn rotator cuffs. Engages the deltoid muscle to power arm movement.
Patients generally return to driving after 4-6 weeks, once their arm strength has returned and they no longer require pain medication. Your ability to safely control the steering wheel and react quickly will determine the exact timing.
Current implants commonly last 15-20 years or more, depending on activity demands and following joint protection guidelines. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor your implant’s condition and ensure optimal long-term function.
