Shoulder replacement surgery is a surgical procedure done to remove the damaged areas of the shoulder and replacing them with artificial or man-made joints called a prosthesis. It is commonly known as shoulder joint replacement surgery.

The treatment options are either to replace only the head of the humerus bone, or replacement of both the ball as well as the socket.

We, at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, have one of the best orthopedic teams in Hyderabad who have years of experience in successfully treating patients with shoulder related problems and giving them the best suitable treatment making us one of the top hospitals in India.

Why is it performed?

An individual is eligible for a shoulder replacement if they are suffering from severe arthritis or a fracture in the shoulder joint. We, at Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad give the best care and treatment to our patients. With the help of our experienced and dedicated team, we give the best results to our patients.

Shoulder Replacement Procedure

There are various types of shoulder surgery treatment procedures such as:

• Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: It is a procedure in which the normal ball and socket present in the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder’s center of rotation is reversed to create a more stable joint.
• Rotator Cuff Repairs: It is a procedure to operate the damaged part of the rotator cuff and to clean and reattach any torn or damaged tendons present in the shoulder.
• Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Repair: This surgery is to relieve the pain and restore function in the affected area by removing the damaged end of the clavicle bone.
