Severe arthritis, rotator cuff tears
Why do get this surgery?
What does the surgeon do in the surgery?
Shoulder replacement replaces damaged joints with prosthetics for arthritis or rotator cuff tears. Anatomic (ball-and-socket) or reverse (socket-and-ball) implants address varying degrees of damage. Outpatient procedures with rapid PT protocols enable 80% pain reduction and improved mobility within weeks.
Implants last 15+ years in 90% of patients.
