Shoulder Replacement

Shoulder Replacement, also known as Shoulder Arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve severe pain, restore mobility, and improve overall shoulder function. It is commonly recommended for patients with advanced arthritis, complex fractures, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, or shoulder damage that no longer responds to medication, therapy, or minimally invasive treatments.

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

During the procedure, the damaged parts of the shoulder joint — including the humeral head (ball) and the glenoid (socket) — are replaced with artificial components that mimic natural joint movement. Modern implants are designed to withstand long-term use and provide smooth, pain-free mobility.

Depending on the patient’s condition, surgeons may perform a Total Shoulder Replacement, Reverse Shoulder Replacement, or Partial Replacement. Reverse shoulder replacement, in particular, is highly effective for patients with massive rotator cuff tears or severe joint degeneration.

With advancements such as 3D preoperative planning, navigation systems, and minimally invasive techniques, shoulder replacement surgery has become more precise, predictable, and safer. These technologies allow surgeons to customize implant positioning, minimize soft tissue damage, and ensure optimal joint alignment.

At our center, we focus on delivering a personalized approach using advanced imaging, accurate surgical planning, and structured rehabilitation to ensure faster recovery and long-lasting shoulder function. Our goal is to help patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence in performing daily activities without pain.

Key Benefits of Shoulder Replacement:

  • Significant reduction in chronic shoulder pain
  • Restores smooth and natural arm movement
  • Highly effective for arthritis, fractures, and rotator cuff tear arthropathy
  • Uses 3D planning and modern implants for superior outcomes
  • Improves strength, stability, and range of motion
  • Faster rehabilitation with long-lasting shoulder function
