Regain Pain‑Free Shoulder Movement

Severe arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, trauma, or degenerative conditions can damage the shoulder joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of function. Shoulder Replacement Surgery is an advanced and highly effective treatment that restores movement, reduces pain, and significantly improves quality of life.

Also calledShoulder Arthroplasty

It involves removing damaged parts of the shoulder and replacing them with durable metal and polyethylene implants to restore smooth, pain‑free motion.

Recommended for severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, AVN, complex fractures, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, post‑traumatic degeneration, and persistent pain unrelieved by therapy.

Types of Shoulder Replacement

Dr. Bhasme selects the best procedure based on your cuff status, bone quality, and goals.

Both ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) are replaced. Ideal when rotator cuff is intact.

Reverse Shoulder

Partial (Hemiarthroplasty)

Only the humeral head is replaced. Used in select fractures or degeneration.
