Shoulder Joint Replacements
Shoulder joint replacements are surgical procedures used to replace a damaged or deteriorated shoulder joint with an artificial prosthesis. These procedures are performed with the goal of relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring shoulder function.
Shoulder joint replacements are necessary in cases where the shoulder joint is severely affected by degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis. They may also be recommended in situations where there are severe shoulder fractures or rotator cuff injuries that do not respond to conservative treatments.
Valuation Appointment
During the initial consultation with an orthopedic surgeon, the condition of the shoulder joint will be evaluated, and treatment options, including joint replacement, will be discussed. The physician will provide general information about the benefits and expectations of the surgery, as well as the recovery period and postoperative recommendations.
It is important to note that shoulder joint replacements are personalized procedures, and the results can vary depending on each patient’s characteristics and conditions. The decision to undergo a shoulder joint replacement should be made in consultation with the physician, taking into account the severity of the condition, overall health status, and patient goals.
