What Is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?
When Every Movement Hurts – Understanding Shoulder Joint Damage
If lifting your arm, combing your hair, or even reaching for something causes sharp pain — it may be due to severe joint damage or arthritis.
Over time, the cartilage that cushions the shoulder wears away, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and loss of motion.
Shoulder replacement surgery, also called shoulder arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components (implants).
Depending on your condition, it may be:
Total Shoulder Replacement: Both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) are replaced.
Partial (Hemi) Replacement: Only the ball portion is replaced.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Used when rotator cuff tendons are severely damaged — the ball and socket positions are reversed for better function.

When Is Shoulder Replacement Recommended?
Dr. Prince recommends shoulder replacement when pain or stiffness doesn’t improve with medication, physiotherapy, or injections.
Common conditions include:
Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
Post-traumatic arthritis (after fractures or injury)
Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to bone)
Failed previous shoulder surgery
If your shoulder pain limits your sleep or daily movement, replacement may be the key to long-term relief.
“Frozen shoulder doesn’t just restrict your joint — it restricts your life. The right treatment can help you move freely again.”
— Dr. Prince Uchadiya
Symptoms That Indicate You May Need Surgery
