Understanding Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged or worn-out shoulder joint with an artificial prosthesis. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with severe shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or other conditions that cause significant pain and limit shoulder movement. The goal of shoulder replacement is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore a better range of motion.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Shoulder Replacement
- Chronic Pain: Persistent pain that is not alleviated by medications or physical therapy.
- Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the shoulder, especially in reaching overhead or behind the back.
- Weakness: Noticeable weakness in the shoulder that affects daily activities and strength.
- Joint Stiffness: Stiffness and reduced flexibility in the shoulder joint.
- Impact on Quality of Life: Severe discomfort or dysfunction that interferes with daily activities and overall quality of life.
