What is Shoulder Joint Replacement?

This is also called Shoulder Arthroplasty, which is an option when the shoulder joint pain deters performing the daily activities and other treatments don’t bring relief.
Usually, in a Shoulder Replacement surgery, the doctor replaces the ends of the damaged Humerus and scapula bones of the shoulder joint or caps them with plastic or metal and plastic and then the components are held in place with cement.

There are different Shoulder Joint Replacement options:

• Total Shoulder Replacement :

The arthritic joint surfaces are replaced with a highly polished metal ball attached to the stem and a plastic socket.

• Stemmed Hemiarthroplasty :

Head of the humerus is replaced with a metal ball and stem. Resurfacing Hemiarthroplasty Replacing of the joint surface of the humerus head with a cap-like prosthesis without the stem. Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement The socket and metal ball are switched, i.e., the metal ball is attached to the shoulder bone while the plastic socket is attached to the humerus.

When is it needed?

The shoulder problems that bring about the need for shoulder replacement surgery are:

• Osteoarthritis: wear and tear lead[ to softening and wearing away of the cartilage that cushions the shoulder. The bones rub against each other causing pain and stiffness.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: the synovial membrane surrounding the joint inflames and thickens, damaging the cartilage causing cartilage loss, pain and stiffness.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: This follows a serious shoulder injury where the bones surrounding the shoulder fractures or torn shoulder ligaments might damage the articular cartilage over time. Shoulder pain and limited shoulder function ensue.
• Rotator Cuff Arthropathy: The rotator cuff leads to arthritis and cartilage damage.
• Osteonecrosis: deficiency of blood supply to the bone causes shoulder joint to deform. Severe shoulder fractures and a previously failed shoulder replacement
