Total shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure that removes osteoarthritic bone and replaces it with metal and plastic components.
These components mimic the anatomy and function of a healthy shoulder so that you can return to activities without the pain caused by arthritis.
Total shoulder replacement is very effective at restoring range of motion and improving quality of life. The procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis, although most times an overnight hospital stay is necessary.
The Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeons at OrthoNeuro have performed thousands of total shoulder replacements and are experts in this procedure.
A total shoulder replacement may be recommended to treat severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment.
At OrthoNeuro, a total shoulder replacement can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure based on what you and your OrthoNeuro surgeon feel are best for you.
During a total shoulder replacement procedure:
Physical therapy is an important part of recovery as it helps improve stability in the shoulder as well as increase range of motion.

We will evaluate your unique lifestyle and goals to determine which type of treatment is best for you. Best of all, most patients can be seen within 24 hours of making an appointment.
