Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Anatomic and Reverse Arthroplasty.
When the joint is destroyed, we replace it. Anatomic replacement mimics nature. Reverse replacement is used when the rotator cuff is also torn, allowing the deltoid to do the work.
Symptoms
- Bone-on-bone arthritis
- Cuff tear arthropathy
