What is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint made up of the humeral head (ball) and the glenoid cavity (socket). Over time or due to injury, this joint surface can become damaged, causing pain, stiffness, and restricted motion.
Shoulder replacement surgery involves removing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint and replacing them with artificial implants (prosthesis) made of metal and medical-grade plastic. The goal is to relieve pain and restore smooth, functional movement of the arm.

  • MRI or CT scan: For detailed imaging of bone and soft tissue.
  • Blood tests and medical evaluation: To ensure the patient is fit for surgery.

Pre-surgical physiotherapy and optimization of health conditions (such as diabetes or hypertension) are also part of preparation.

Procedure for Piles Laser Surgery

Shoulder Replacement Procedure

  • The surgery is performed under general or regional anesthesia.
  • A small incision is made over the shoulder to access the joint.
  • The damaged portions of bone and cartilage are carefully removed.
  • Artificial implants are positioned to replicate natural joint movement.
  • The incision is closed, and the arm is placed in a sling for support.

The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days.
