Overview

Shoulder replacement surgery is a procedure that helps relieve pain and restore movement in your shoulder. This surgery involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder with artificial components. It's often recommended for those who have severe arthritis, significant joint damage, or ongoing shoulder pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments.

What to Expect

When you come to Carondelet Medical Group for shoulder replacement, you can look forward to personalized care from our dedicated team. During your first consultation, our surgeons will carefully evaluate your condition, go over your medical history, and create a treatment plan that’s just right for you. On the day of your surgery, our team will be with you every step of the way, answering any questions and helping you feel comfortable.

Anatomic and Reverse Shoulder Replacement Techniques

At Carondelet Medical Group, we offer two techniques for shoulder replacement: anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement. Anatomic shoulder replacement closely follows the natural structure of your shoulder, using prosthetic parts to replace the damaged joint surfaces. This option works well for patients with healthy rotator cuffs and arthritis. Reverse shoulder replacement is a bit different—it’s used for those with severe rotator cuff damage or complex shoulder issues. In this approach, the ball and socket positions are switched, allowing other muscles to take over for the damaged rotator cuff, which can help improve shoulder stability and function. Our experienced surgeons will recommend the right approach based on your individual needs.

Post-Operative Care

Taking good care of your shoulder after surgery is important for a smooth recovery. You'll need to keep your shoulder immobilized as instructed, avoid heavy lifting, and make sure to attend all your follow-up appointments. Physical therapy may also be needed to help you regain strength and flexibility in your shoulder. For more information on post-operative care, you can visit the surgeon's care page on our website.

At Carondelet Medical Group, we’re here to help you get back to living without shoulder pain. From your first visit to your recovery, our team is here to support you. If you’d like to learn more about shoulder replacement surgery or schedule an appointment, feel free to reach out to us today.
