Why Shoulder Replacement Is Needed

Shoulder replacement is usually recommended for severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis that has worn away the joint cartilage, complex fractures of the upper arm bone, avascular necrosis (bone death from lost blood supply), or a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear that has led to cuff tear arthropathy.

Signs You May Need Shoulder Replacement

Warning signs include chronic, deep shoulder pain that disturbs sleep, significant stiffness and loss of range of motion, weakness that limits daily tasks like reaching or lifting, and pain that no longer responds to physiotherapy, injections, or medication.

Types of Shoulder Replacement

Options include anatomic total shoulder replacement, which replicates the normal ball-and-socket structure and works best when the rotator cuff is intact, and reverse total shoulder replacement, which reverses the ball-and-socket positions and is used when the rotator cuff is severely damaged; partial (hemiarthroplasty) replacement is used in select fracture cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
