Shoulder, reverse shoulder, and elbow joint replacement surgeries are advanced procedures designed to restore function and alleviate pain in damaged or arthritic joints. These surgeries involve replacing the damaged parts of the joints with artificial implants to improve mobility and quality of life.

Causes:

  • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: Autoimmune disorder leading to joint inflammation and damage.
  • Severe Fractures: Complex fractures that do not heal properly.
  • Rotator Cuff Tears: Irreparable tears that affect shoulder function.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Joint damage following an injury.
 

Treatment: These replacement surgeries involve:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Detailed imaging and clinical assessment to plan the surgery.
  2. Precise Surgical Techniques: Utilizing advanced tools to remove damaged joint components and insert prosthetic implants.
  3. Implant Selection: Choosing implants suited to the patient’s anatomy and functional requirements.
  4. Rehabilitation: Post-operative care, including physical therapy, to ensure proper recovery and regain mobility.

By addressing severe joint damage, these procedures aim to relieve pain, restore joint function, and significantly improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
