Shoulder replacements are less common than knee and hip replacements, but they are just as effective at relieving joint pain.
Thus, surgery was first perform in the United States in the 1950s when he treate severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder replacement surgery has also been use for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, including various forms of arthritis.
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, approximately 53,000 people in the United States currently undergo shoulder surgery each year. This equates to more than 900,000 Americans undergoing knee and hip replacement surgeries each year.
Shoulder joint replacement surgery should be considere if non-surgical treatments, such as medications and activity changes, do not provide pain relief. Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure that reduces pain and allows you to resume your daily life.
How the shoulder Replacement surgery happen?
1. Preparation: Thus, Before the surgery begins, the patient will receive either general anesthesia, which leaves him unconscious, or local anesthesia, which numbs a specific area of the shoulder.
2. Incision: Once, A carefully plan incision is made over the shoulder joint. Firstly, The size and location of the incision will depend on the specific type of shoulder replacement surgery and the surgeon’s preferences. The goal is to provide adequate access to the joint while minimizing tissue damage.
3. Shoulder Joint Exposure: The surgeon carefully separates and moves the muscles and other tissues to expose the shoulder joint. This will help you visualize the situation clearly and take the necessary steps.
4. Removal of Damaged Tissue: Damaged or diseased parts of the shoulder joint, such as: B. The arthritic or damaged humeral head is removed. This step is important to prepare the joint for placement of prosthetic components.
5. Preparing the glenoid fossa (if necessary): For a complete shoulder prosthesis, the surgeon may rework the glenoid fossa (glenoid joint) to accommodate the prosthetic shaft. When performing a reverse total shoulder replacement, the surgeon swaps the position of the ball and socket to improve stability and function.
6. Implant Placement: Next, the prosthetic components of the shoulder prosthesis, including the metal ball (for the humeral head) and plastic socket (for the glenoid fossa), or vice versa in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, are placed in place. It is carefully fixed. . These components are designed to closely mimic the natural anatomy and movement of the shoulder joint.
