💡 What Is Shoulder Replacement?
Shoulder Replacement Surgery (also known as Shoulder Arthroplasty) is a procedure in which damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components (implants). It is recommended when pain, stiffness, or damage in the shoulder joint interferes with your daily activities and quality of life.

You may benefit from this surgery if you suffer from:
Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Rotator cuff arthropathy (arthritis with rotator cuff tear)
Avascular necrosis (AVN)
Severe shoulder fractures
Failed previous shoulder surgeries
Chronic shoulder pain and limited movement not relieved by medication or therapy
