Shoulder replacement involves taking out broken bone fragments and replacing them with metal and plastic components (implants). Shoulder arthroplasty is the term for this procedure. The shoulder joint consists of a ball and socket. The shallow socket in the shoulder accommodates the round head, or ball, of the upper arm bone. Joint damage can result in stiffness, weakness, and pain. There are several forms and sizes available for shoulder implants. Partial and complete replacements with anatomic or reverse implants are available. You will be evaluated for operation readiness by other members of the care team. Questions on your medication history, medical history, and tobacco usage will be asked of you. Smoking obstructs the healing process. You might schedule an appointment with a physical therapist, who will walk you through physical therapy exercises and demonstrate how to wear an immobilizer, or kind of sling, to keep your shoulder from moving. Nowadays, a lot of patients go home the same day as their shoulder replacement surgery.
