Why Choose Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty?

Shoulder hemiarthroplasty involves replacing only the ball (humeral head) of the shoulder while preserving the natural socket (glenoid). This procedure is ideal for patients with localized joint damage, fractures, or early-stage arthritis affecting only part of the shoulder joint.

Benefits include:

• Relief from chronic shoulder pain
• Restoration of shoulder motion and function
• Preservation of healthy joint structures
• Faster recovery compared to total shoulder replacement
• Long-term functional outcomes

Who Should Consider Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty?

Hemiarthroplasty is recommended for patients with:

• Severe fractures of the humeral head
• Early osteoarthritis localized to the humeral head
• Avascular necrosis of the humeral head
• Failed prior shoulder surgery where the socket is intact
• Persistent pain and functional limitation not responsive to conservative treatment

If you are experiencing restricted motion, pain, or weakness despite medications, injections, or physiotherapy, shoulder hemiarthroplasty with Dr. Pawaskar may be the best option.
