Shoulder replacement surgery: what are my options?
Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a medical procedure designed to alleviate pain and improve the function of a damaged or arthritic shoulder joint. This surgery involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components, much like how a hip or knee replacement is performed. Experienced shoulder and elbow consultant Miss Dimitra Leivadiotou explains more about the surgery, including when it is necessary and the various options available.
