Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery or shoulder arthroplasty is a procedure that aims to relieve severe shoulder pain and restore normal function of the shoulder joint in people whose joints are damaged or have a disease. The shoulder joint comprises a ball-and-socket joint, where the humerus (upper arm bone) is the head of the ball, and the shoulder blade (scapula) is the socket. When conditions such as arthritis, major fractures, or some degenerative diseases cause pain, stiffness, and loss of function in the shoulder, shoulder replacement surgery in Kota may be necessary.

Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery

There are several shoulder replacement surgery types, yet the surgeon will prescribe the right surgery based on the patient’s needs and specific conditions.

Total Shoulder Replacement

For patients who need to altogether remove the damaged humeral head and glenoid, which are ball and socket, total shoulder replacement or total shoulder arthroplasty is the appropriate solution. This treatment is advisable for patients who have had severe arthritis, have a completely unrepairable rotator cuff tear, or have conditions that lead to significant pain and loss of function in the shoulder joint.

Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

The reverse total shoulder replacement differs from the standard procedure in that it primarily deals with selective shoulder conditions, including massive rotator cuff tears. Unlike traditional total shoulder replacement, the positions of the artificial components are reversed: the ball is joined to the scapula attached to the humerus, a bone in the upper arm.

Partial Shoulder Replacement

Partial Shoulder Replacement, also known as Hemiarthroplasty, involved replacing only the damaged part of the shoulder joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is often used to treat severe shoulder fractures or arthritis in the humeral head. It aims to relieve pain and restore some range of motion.

How to Know if You Need Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Kota?

Deciding whether you need shoulder replacement surgery is a complex decision that should be made in consultation with an orthopedic surgeon. However, some certain signs and symptoms may indicate a need for shoulder replacement surgery. These include:

Persistent Shoulder Pain

If you have difficulties with your shoulders with the slightest movements despite rest, physiotherapy, medications, and injections—this could be a sign of advanced joint damage.

Limited Range of Motion

Your inability to participate in your usual daily routines involving shoulder movement above or lifting objects could mean that your shoulder disease has reached a stage that needs surgical intervention.

Diagnosis of Severe Conditions

In cases of serious arthritis as well as irreparable rotator cuff tears or shoulder fractures, surgery may be the only choice due to tissue deterioration and severe pain.

Failure of Conservative Treatments

After initially considering non-surgical alternatives such as drugs, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, you can then consider the option of shoulder replacement if all options have been unsuccessful.

Serious Joint Damage or Injury

Joints with severe damage caused by injuries, trauma, or degenerative illnesses may force the patients to undergo surgical treatment. X-rays and other imaging tests are among the exams that may help the physician determine the severity and extent of the damage.

Consultation with an Orthopedic Surgeon

Visit an orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder-related disorders for a more thorough evaluation. They will perform a full examination that includes taking some imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans. This will help assess the current status of the joint damage and determine the suitability of shoulder replacement surgery in Kota.

Benefits of Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Kota

Shoulder replacement surgery can offer several benefits for individuals with severe shoulder joint damage or certain conditions. These benefits include:

Pain Relief

Shoulder replacement surgery can help prove relief from chronic pain caused by conditions such as arthritis and severe joint damage. It enables you to carry on with your daily activities without any discomfort.

Improved Range of Motion

The surgery improves the range of movement and general mobility of the shoulder by removing degenerated joint surfaces and implanting artificial components.

Enhanced Functionality

After surgical restoration of shoulder movement, you can perform various daily tasks such as reaching, lifting, and carrying items, increasing your independence and productivity.

Better Quality of Life

Relieving the pain in your shoulder and having it fully functioning will improve your quality of life and increase your confidence in taking part in your hobbies, social gatherings, and recreational activities.

Correction of Deformities

Shoulder replacement surgery in Kota corrects deformities caused by severe conditions like arthritis or trauma. It also improves the appearance of the shoulder joint in the body.

Long-Term Durability

Modern implants for shoulder replacements are developed to be durable and last longer, so they can serve for many years and avoid additional surgeries or treatment.

Reduced Medication Dependence

Following the shoulder replacement surgery in Kota, many patients face less requirement for pain medications that could have potentially harmful effects.

Restoration of Sleep Patterns

The surgery also helps with improving sleep patterns. Because persistent pain keeps you awake, relief from shoulder pain and good shoulder function will help improve your sleep.

How is a Total Shoulder Replacement Performed?

Here is an overview of the typical steps involved in a total shoulder replacement:

1. Anesthesia : The patient is either under general or regional anesthesia, whichever is appropriate depending on their medical history and the surgeon's judgment.
2. Incision : The surgeon will make a cut on the front or side of the shoulder to gain access to the shoulder joint.
3. Exposure of the Shoulder Joint : The surgeon gently dissects the surrounding structures to reveal the shoulder joint.
4. Removal of Damaged Tissues : The diseased or arthritic component of the shoulder joint, comprising part of the ball (head of humerus) and socket (glenoid), is removed. This allows space for the insertion of the artificial components.
5. Implant Placement : The implant consists of its artificial components: a metal ball on a stem and a plastic socket. These are placed on the prepared surfaces of the humerus and the glenoid.
6. Closure : After fixing the prosthesis components, the surgeons securely close the incision using sutures or staples while applying dressing to control healing.
7. Recovery : The patient goes to the recovery room for monitoring and some drugs to make the pain easier. Physical therapy might be prescribed to enhance the healing of the shoulder joint and rehabilitation.
8. Postoperative Care : Patients receive painkillers to help them manage postoperative pain and antibiotics regularly to avoid infection. The scheduled follow-up visits with the orthopedist will allow for monitoring of the recovery process.

Dr Kshitij Soni is the best orthopedic doctor in the Kota city, I consulted three doctors before him for my shoulder problem but they were not able to diagnose. Dr Kshitij Soni figured out the root cause in the first meeting itself. I am really happy with him and advise every one to go to him without a second thought.
