SHOULDER REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Shoulder replacement surgery is a highly effective procedure that removes damaged joint surfaces of the shoulder and replaces them with carefully engineered prosthetic components. It relieves debilitating pain, corrects deformity, and restores the full range of arm and shoulder movement.
CureTour For You connects patients with leading orthopaedic and upper-limb surgeons at accredited hospitals offering advanced shoulder replacement procedures using the latest implant technology. From your first consultation through to rehabilitation, our dedicated team ensures a smooth and comfortable treatment journey.
Ideal Candidates For Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Shoulder replacement is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, pain medication, or steroid injections no longer provide adequate relief from shoulder pain and loss of function.
Severe Osteoarthritis
Progressive cartilage wear in the shoulder joint causing chronic pain and stiffness.
Shoulder Fractures
Complex fractures of the humeral head that cannot be repaired with standard fixation techniques.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammatory joint disease causing irreversible damage to the shoulder joint surfaces.
Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy
Severe rotator cuff damage leading to joint collapse and loss of shoulder function.
Avascular Necrosis
Loss of blood supply to the humeral head causing bone deterioration and joint pain.
Limited Arm Mobility
Inability to lift, reach, or perform daily tasks due to persistent shoulder pain.
Understanding Shoulder Replacement Procedures
Shoulder replacement surgery resurfaces the damaged ball and socket of the glenohumeral joint with prosthetic implants. The procedure eliminates pain, improves strength, and restores the full range of arm movement — enabling patients to return to everyday activities with confidence.
Total Shoulder Replacement
Both the humeral head and glenoid socket are replaced for complete joint restoration and pain relief.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
The ball and socket positions are reversed, ideal for patients with severe rotator cuff damage.
Partial Shoulder Replacement
Only the humeral head is replaced, preserving the natural glenoid socket where possible.
Revision Shoulder Replacement
Replacement of a worn or failed shoulder prosthesis to restore function and relieve recurring pain.
