Shoulder Arthroplasty / Shoulder Joint Replacement

When shoulder pain from severe joint damage is not managed by non-surgical treatments, shoulder arthroplasty is an option. The ends of the humerus and scapula found in the shoulder joints are either replaced or capped with plastic and metal and are cemented. The different types of procedures in shoulder joint replacement are: 

Total Shoulder Replacement

A refined metal ball connected with the stem and socket is used to replace the surfaces of the injured joints.

Stemmed Hemiarthroplasty

A metal ball and stem are replaced at the head of the humerus.

Resurfacing Hemiarthroplasty

A stemless cap-like prosthesis is used as the replacement of the humerus head's joint.

Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

Interchanging of the socket and metal ball.

These procedures are performed if the patient suffers from Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rotator Cuff Arthropathy and Osteonecrosis.
