Your shoulder is an important joint that rotates with a greater range of motion than any other joint in your body. If it’s causing you pain to the point that you can’t reach into a cabinet, can’t sleep well, or experience other symptoms, your healthcare provider might consider replacement surgery. This procedure can relieve your pain and increase mobility. A shoulder replacement is a procedure that tries to eliminate the source of pain and dysfunction by replacing damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components called prostheses. The most common reasons for shoulder replacement surgery are osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, avascular necrosis, or rheumatoid arthritis. The procedure is meant to relieve your pain, improve your strength, increase your range of motion and enable you to use your shoulder and arm. Similar to the hip joint, your shoulder is a large ball and socket joint. It can rotate through a greater range of motion than any other joint in your body. The shoulder joint is made up of bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments which hold the shoulder in place and allows for its movement. Bones of the shoulder joint include the Clavicle (collar bone), Scapula (large flat triangular bone called shoulder blade), and Humerus (upper arm bone).
