Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh Shoulder Replacement Package

Overall, shoulder replacement is a safe procedure. Although unusual, it's possible that shoulder replacement surgery will not relieve or eliminate your pain completely. The procedure may not completely restore the joint's movement or strength. Another surgery may be required in some circumstances. The following are some of the possible side effects of shoulder replacement surgery:

• Infection is a complication of any surgery
• Dislocation
• Fracture
• Implant loosening
• Rotator cuff failure
• Nerve damage
• Blood clots
• Infection

Your orthopaedic surgeon will discuss the risks and consequences of shoulder joint replacement surgery, including those associated with the procedure itself as well as those that can develop over time.

It normally takes about 2 hours to replace your shoulder joint with an artificial device. After surgery, you'll be taken to the recovery room, where you'll be observed for many hours while your anaesthetic recovery progresses. You will be transferred to your hospital room once you have awoken. Antibiotics will be given to you in multiple doses to avoid infection. The day after surgery, most patients are able to consume solid foods and get out of bed. On the first, second, or third day after surgery, you will most likely be able to go home.

When it comes to travelling back home after your shoulder replacement surgery, you can do it in 4-5 days after a simple, open procedure (i.e. wrist or hand surgery). 14 days for open surgery that is more complex (i.e. shoulder joint replacement surgery). 14 days after a fracture was stabilised by surgery (broken bone).

Your arm will be in a sling when you leave the hospital. For the first 2 to 6 weeks after surgery, you'll need the sling to support and protect your shoulder, depending on the severity of your operation and your surgeon's preferences.

Simple adjustments in your surroundings before surgery can help you recover more quickly-

• It's recommended not to soak the wound with water until it's completely sealed and dried. You can keep bandaging the wound to keep it from being irritated by clothing.
• For the first several weeks after your surgery, reaching high shelves and cupboards will be challenging. Walk around your house before your treatment and put anything you might need later on low shelves.
• When you get home from the hospital, you'll need assistance with daily activities like dressing, bathing, cooking, and laundry for at least 2 weeks
• If you won't be able to care for yourself at home after surgery, you may need to spend time in a rehabilitation facility until you're more self-sufficient.
• Exercise is an important aspect of home care, especially in the weeks following surgery. To help you restore strength, follow your surgeon's home exercise prescription.
• Follow the home workout routine that has been advised for you. For a month or more, you may need to do the exercises 2 to 3 times per day.
• For the first 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, don't lift anything heavier than a glass of water.
• After your shoulder replacement, avoid contact sports and any repetitive heavy lifting
• For the first 6 weeks after surgery, avoid putting your arm in any extreme positions, such as straight out to the side or behind your torso
• After surgery, you are not allowed to drive for 2 to 6 weeks
