A shoulder replacement is also commonly known as a shoulder arthroplasty. It is a surgical technique in which damaged or arthritic parts of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced by biomaterial components. The surgery aims to alleviate pain, improve shoulder function, and enhance the patient's quality of life. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged portions of the humerus (upper arm bone) and scapula (shoulder blade) and replaces them with metal or plastic implants.
Medical conditions that can be treated through shoulder replacement surgery include severe arthritis, rotator cuff tears, and fractures that cannot be effectively managed through other treatments. It is generally suggested for individuals who have significant pain and disability in their shoulder joint that affects their daily activities.
After a shoulder replacement surgery, the recovery involves a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy. The goal of physical therapy is to gradually restore shoulder movement and weight-bearing capacity. The arm is usually kept in a sling for the first few days after the surgery to avoid any jerks. The doctor is regularly seen for follow-up appointments. The complete recovery after a shoulder replacement may take several months. The time period also depends on the patient's overall health and other factors, like adhering to guidelines recommended by the doctor.
