Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure in which a damaged or diseased shoulder joint is replaced with artificial components. The surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with severe shoulder joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
During the surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder joint are removed, and a prosthetic implant is used to replace the humeral head (ball) and, in some cases, the glenoid (socket). There are different types of shoulder replacement surgeries, including total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement, depending on the specific condition being addressed.
Shoulder replacement surgery is considered when conservative treatments no longer provide relief, and the joint damage significantly impairs daily activities. It is often a viable option for individuals experiencing chronic shoulder pain and limited mobility.
The cost of shoulder replacement surgery starts from £12,875*
