About this Procedure
Shoulder replacement (shoulder arthroplasty) is surgery in which the damaged parts of the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint are removed and replaced with artificial components, called a prosthesis. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) describes it as very effective at relieving shoulder pain. Types include standard total shoulder replacement, reverse total shoulder replacement and partial replacement of the ball only (hemiarthroplasty).
It may be recommended for severe shoulder pain that interferes with everyday activities such as dressing and washing, pain at rest that disturbs sleep, loss of movement and weakness, when medicines, injections and physiotherapy have not helped. Common causes include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis after an injury, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, avascular necrosis and severe fractures of the upper arm bone.
The procedure usually takes about 2 hours and is performed under anaesthesia. Afterwards you either go home the same day or stay overnight, and most people admitted to hospital go home the day after surgery. Your arm is supported in a sling for the first 2 to 6 weeks, and a guided exercise programme is important for recovery. The AAOS notes that most patients can manage eating, dressing and grooming within 2 weeks.
