Total Shoulder Replacement

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Total Shoulder Replacement (Anatomic)

This is used when the rotator cuff muscles are intact but the joint is worn down by arthritis or injury.

  • The damaged ball (humeral head) is replaced with a smooth metal ball.

  • The socket (glenoid) is replaced with a durable plastic surface.

  • The artificial components mimic the natural anatomy of the shoulder.

✅ Ideal for osteoarthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint disease with a healthy rotator cuff.
