Total Shoulder Replacement
Total Shoulder Replacement in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic
At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish specializes in Total Shoulder Replacement, a surgical procedure to replace the damaged shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant. This treatment is ideal for patients suffering from severe arthritis, post-traumatic joint damage, or degenerative shoulder conditions that cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.
Total shoulder replacement restores joint function, relieves chronic pain, and improves the patient’s range of motion, allowing a safe return to daily activities and light recreational tasks. The procedure focuses on replicating the natural biomechanics of the shoulder to provide long-lasting relief and enhanced quality of life.
What is Total Shoulder Replacement?
Total shoulder replacement involves removing the damaged humeral head and glenoid surface and replacing them with artificial components. The implant replicates the natural structure of the shoulder joint, allowing smooth and pain-free movement. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with advanced arthritis or joint degeneration affecting both the ball and socket of the shoulder.
Benefits of Total Shoulder Replacement
Total shoulder replacement offers several key advantages for patients with shoulder joint damage:
- Relieves chronic shoulder pain and discomfort, improving overall quality of life.
- Restores smooth and stable shoulder movement, allowing improved range of motion.
- Durable prosthetic implants provide long-term joint function and stability.
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce tissue trauma, pain, and recovery time.
- Enables safe return to daily activities and light recreational tasks.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
- Initial recovery focuses on pain management and gentle passive shoulder movements.
- Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility.
- Most patients regain functional use of the shoulder within 6–12 weeks, depending on individual recovery.
- Patients can gradually resume daily activities and light recreational tasks under guidance.
- Long-term outcomes include improved shoulder stability, pain-free movement, and enhanced quality of life.
