Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement surgery is a procedure where damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components to relieve pain and restore function.
What is Shoulder Replacement?
Shoulder replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. Dr. Mayank performs both total shoulder replacement (replacing both the ball and socket) and partial shoulder replacement (hemiarthroplasty), depending on the extent of joint damage. This advanced procedure uses state-of-the-art implants designed to restore natural shoulder mechanics and provide long-lasting relief from pain and dysfunction.
When is Shoulder Replacement Needed?
Shoulder replacement is indicated for various conditions including:
Severe osteoarthritis with joint degeneration
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
Rheumatoid arthritis affecting the shoulder
Complex shoulder fractures
Avascular necrosis of the humeral head
Failed previous shoulder surgeries
Chronic shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatment
Severe limitation in arm movement and daily activities
Expected Outcomes and Recovery
Patients can expect significant pain reduction and improved shoulder function following surgery. Dr. Mayank's approach ensures optimal implant positioning for maximum range of motion. Recovery involves a structured physical therapy program, with most patients regaining functional use of their shoulder within 3-4 months. The artificial shoulder joint provides reliable, long-term relief, allowing patients to return to work, recreational activities, and enjoy pain-free sleep.
