Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Helping You Understand Your Shoulder Replacement Options

Shoulder replacement surgery is performed to relieve pain, improve movement, and restore function when the shoulder joint has been significantly damaged by arthritis, injury, or degeneration. The shoulder is a complex joint that relies on smooth cartilage surfaces, healthy bone, and strong soft tissues such as the rotator cuff to function properly. When these structures wear out or are damaged, everyday activities like lifting the arm, reaching, and dressing can become painful or difficult.
If non-operative treatments no longer provide relief, shoulder replacement may be recommended. Modern shoulder arthroplasty offers several surgical options, each designed to address specific patterns of joint wear, bone loss, and rotator cuff integrity. Dr Dallalana will assess your shoulder thoroughly and explain which technique is most appropriate for your condition.
Below is an overview of the main types of shoulder replacement surgery, with links to more detailed pages.
