Comprehensive shoulder replacement surgery to restore mobility, strength, and pain-free motion
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.
This is done when the rotator cuff is torn or not functioning properly.
The normal ball-and-socket structure is reversed: the ball is placed on the shoulder blade, and the socket is placed on the upper arm.
This allows the deltoid muscle to take over movement normally handled by the rotator cuff.
Ideal for large rotator cuff tears, complex fractures, or failed previous surgeries.
