Total Shoulder Replacement

Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Old Airport Road, Bangalore

Total shoulder replacement is performed when arthritis or injury has severely damaged the shoulder joint, making daily activities painful and difficult. Both the humeral head (ball) and the glenoid (socket) are replaced with artificial implants made of metal and high-grade plastic.

The surgery aims to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life. It is highly successful for patients with advanced arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative conditions.

Advantages of total shoulder replacement:

  • Long-lasting pain relief

  • Improved joint function

  • Increased strength for lifting and daily tasks

Recovery includes wearing a sling for a few weeks and attending physiotherapy sessions to regain movement. Most patients can return to regular activities within a few months, enjoying significant improvement in comfort and mobility.
