Shoulder Replacement

Total and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

The shoulder joint plays a crucial role in many daily movements. However, degenerative and rheumatoid diseases can cause severe damage to the shoulder joint, leading to advanced osteoarthritis. This condition results in pain, restricted movement, and a decline in quality of life. In advanced cases, total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty is an effective treatment option.

What Is Total Shoulder Arthroplasty?

Total shoulder arthroplasty involves replacing the damaged or worn-out bone and cartilage in the shoulder joint with an artificial joint. This procedure is particularly suitable for patients with severe joint damage caused by degenerative osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The prosthesis mimics the natural structure of the shoulder joint, alleviating pain and restoring mobility.

What Is Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has a unique design compared to traditional shoulder replacement. It is used especially when the muscles and tendons responsible for shoulder movement (particularly the rotator cuff) have lost their function. In this procedure, the joint structure is reversed, enabling the deltoid muscle to take over shoulder movements. This approach reduces pain and restores functional mobility.

Who Is It For?

Total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty may be indicated for:

  • Degenerative osteoarthritis (severe wear and tear in the shoulder joint)
  • Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
  • Inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
  • Severe pain and restricted shoulder movement
  • Failed previous shoulder surgeries

Surgical Process and Rehabilitation

Total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty are performed using personalized surgical planning. Postoperative rehabilitation is critical for the long-term success of the prosthesis. Physical therapy programs help regain joint mobility and muscle strength. Most patients achieve a pain-free, functional shoulder and return to their daily activities.
