What is Reverse Shoulder Replacement?
Reverse Shoulder Replacement is a surgical treatment option for severe shoulder osteoarthritis that causes pain and decreased range of motion. During the 1-2 hour procedure, the surgeon makes an incision on the front of the shoulder, removes osteoarthritic bone, and perfectly positions metal and plastic implants in reverse positions. After the procedure, patients are placed in a comfortable shoulder sling and monitored in the recovery room until they are awake and alert.Specialist will create a physical therapy plan to help restore function and motion to the shoulder. This procedure is only recommended when nonsurgical treatment options do not improve the patient's pain.
