Shoulder Replacement aims to reduce pain and restore useful shoulder movement by replacing damaged portions of the shoulder joint. In anatomic shoulder replacement, the damaged humeral head and glenoid surface are replaced while maintaining the natural joint orientation. Reverse shoulder replacement changes the normal ball-and-socket arrangement and may be preferred when the rotator cuff is severely damaged. Preoperative imaging and clinical evaluation help determine the most suitable approach.
