What Is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

Shoulder replacement (also called shoulder arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where the damaged shoulder joint is replaced with a high‑quality artificial implant. This restores smooth movement, relieves pain, and improves shoulder function.

The surgery may involve replacing:

• The ball (humeral head)
• The socket (glenoid)
• Or both, depending on your specific condition

Who Needs Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder replacement is recommended when:

• Long‑term pain affects daily activities
• Conservative treatments (physio, injections, medications) have failed
• X-rays/MRI show severe arthritis or structural damage
• Shoulder motion and strength are significantly reduced

Common conditions include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Post‑traumatic arthritis
• Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
• Complex fractures

Types of Shoulder Replacement Offered by Dr. Aditya Pawaskar in Mumbai

• Total Shoulder Replacement: Both joint surfaces are replaced using precision implants — ideal for advanced arthritis.
• Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball is replaced when the socket is preserved.
• Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Recommended when the rotator cuff is severely torn and unsuitable for repair.
• Resurfacing Shoulder Replacement: Conservative option for early arthritis with minimal bone loss.

The Surgery & Recovery Process

• Procedure: Performed under safe anesthesia
• Duration: Typically 2–3 hours
• Hospital Stay: 1–2 days, depending on recovery
• Rehabilitation: Early physiotherapy begins soon after surgery

Recovery is structured and gradual. Most patients begin assisted movement within the first week and build strength over 8–12 weeks, under guided care.
