Shoulder replacement surgery replaces damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components to relieve pain and restore movement. It is commonly performed for severe arthritis, complex fractures, or rotator cuff-related joint damage, helping patients regain function and reduce chronic shoulder pain.
Shoulder replacement is considered when arthritis, severe fracture, or joint damage causes significant pain and limits daily function despite medication, physiotherapy, and injections. Imaging studies help confirm the extent of joint damage.
