Shoulder Replacement in Telangana

How long does a shoulder replacement last?

Modern shoulder implants often last 15-20 years or more, though this varies with activity level and bone quality.

Will I regain full range of motion?

Most patients get substantial pain relief and good function, though the exact range of motion depends on rotator cuff condition and pre-surgery stiffness.

What's the difference between anatomic and reverse replacement?

Anatomic replacement mimics the natural joint and needs a working rotator cuff, while reverse replacement is designed for patients whose rotator cuff is too damaged to support a standard implant.

How long is rehab?

Physical therapy typically continues for 3-6 months, with early gentle motion started within days of surgery.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, implant loosening over time, nerve injury, and dislocation, though these are uncommon with an experienced surgical team.
