Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery addresses severe gleno-humeral joint arthritis or complex, un-united shoulder fractures. For patients with intact rotator cuff muscles, a Anatomic Shoulder Replacement is performed, copying natural human anatomy. For patients with torn, unfixable rotator cuffs or severe cuff tear arthropathy, a Reverse Shoulder Replacement is deployed instead. Reverse replacement switches the socket and ball orientation, allowing the deltoid muscle to lift the arm smoothly without relying on a damaged rotator cuff, providing relief for chronic shoulder issues.

Procedure Details

1 Access: Performed under general anesthesia combined with a regional nerve block for optimal post-op pain management.

2 Joint Exposure: An incision is made along the front of the shoulder (deltopectoral interval) to fully expose the ball and socket.

3 Preparation: The worn, arthritic head of the humerus bone is safely excised, and the glenoid pelvic socket is smoothed out.

4 Component Fixing: A metal socket plate is fixed to the bone, and a prosthetic metal stem with a polished ball is secured into the humerus.

5 Testing: The new joint is put through a full range of motion to ensure perfect tracking before muscular reattachment and skin closure.
