Improve Mobility and Reduce Pain with Total Shoulder Replacement
Total Shoulder Replacement is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the damaged or diseased shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the shoulder area to access the joint. The surgeon then removes the damaged or arthritic parts of the joint and replaces them with a prosthetic implant made of metal, plastic, or a combination of both. The implant is designed to mimic the natural movement of the shoulder joint, allowing for improved range of motion and reduced pain. After the implant is in place, the incision is closed and the patient is monitored in the hospital for a few days before being discharged. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are typically required to help the patient regain strength and mobility in the shoulder joint. Total Shoulder Replacement is a common procedure for individuals with severe shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or other shoulder injuries or conditions that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods.
