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.
