Shoulder Replacement Surgery Experts Pune
Sancheti Hospital offers advanced shoulder replacement to restore joint strength, reduce pain, and improve flexibility effectively.
What is Shoulder Replacement?
Shoulder replacement surgery is an advanced orthopaedic procedure performed to relieve pain, improve movement, and restore normal function in patients with severe shoulder joint problems. Conditions like arthritis, fractures, avascular necrosis, or long-standing rotator cuff damage often lead to unbearable pain and stiffness that cannot be managed with medicines or physiotherapy. In such cases, replacing the damaged joint with artificial implants becomes the most effective treatment.
There are two main types of procedures:
- Total Shoulder Replacement – The damaged ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) are replaced with prosthetic components that mimic the natural anatomy of the shoulder.
- Reverse Shoulder Replacement – The normal ball-and-socket structure is reversed, allowing the deltoid muscle to lift the arm instead of the damaged rotator cuff. This is particularly useful in patients with massive rotator cuff tears or failed previous surgeries.
Benefits of Shoulder Replacement Surgery
- Significant pain relief and improved comfort
- Restoration of shoulder function and mobility
- Better ability to perform daily activities like dressing, grooming, and lifting light objects
- Long-lasting results with modern implants (often lasting 15–20 years)
- Improved quality of life and independence
Limitations or Disadvantages
Like any major surgery, shoulder replacement comes with some limitations:
- Full range of motion may not always be achieved, especially in complex cases
- Implants may wear out over time, requiring revision surgery
- Certain high-impact activities and heavy lifting may need to be avoided
- Temporary risks such as infection, stiffness, or implant loosening, though rare, can occur
