Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, involves replacing damaged areas of the shoulder joint with artificial components made of metal and plastic. This procedure is recommended when nonsurgical treatments fail to alleviate pain, stiffness and restore mobility and function. The surgery can involve replacing just the head of the humerus bone or both the ball and the socket of the joint.
