Shoulder Replacement or Shoulder Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to remove the damaged shoulder area and replace it with artificial metal and plastic implants. Dr. Hiren Patel is the best Shoulder replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad. With hands-on expertise in shoulder replacement, Dr. Patel helps relieve patients from the severe pain caused due to several conditions.
Here are the types of shoulder replacement surgeries PMG Hospital offers:
Total Shoulder Replacement involves removing both the ball and socket of the joint and replacing it with a polished metal ball attached to the stem and a plastic socket.
In Partial Shoulder Replacement, only the damaged ball is replaced with the new metal ball. The procedure is also known as stemmed hemi-arthroplasty.
Reverse shoulder replacement is done when patients have severe or complete damaged rotator cuff or previously failed shoulder replacement surgery.
People who frequently experience a mild or severe amount of pain in the shoulder area may need shoulder replacement surgery after consulting with a renowned joint specialist doctor like Dr. Hiren Patel. The patients may suffer from pain due to Osteoarthritis, shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff injury, fracture, osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory disorders.
Such conditions limit the movement of the shoulder joint and even the slightest movement can cause an unbearable amount of pain. The pain reaches such a severity level that you can’t get a good night’s sleep and even can’t rest for a while. You may feel weakness in the shoulder joint due to loss of motion. If nonsurgical treatments like medications are not effective, the patient may need to undergo surgery.
If you are exploring the option of Shoulder Joint Replacement, let’s see the advanced shoulder arthroplasty surgery offered by PMG hospital.
The shoulder joint consists of a ball and socket. A ball is a round head of the upper arm bone that’s located into the shallow socket in the shoulder. The surgical procedure of shoulder replacement involves removing the damaged parts of the ball and socket and replacing them with artificial metal and plastic implants.
The type of surgery required would be determined by physical & X-ray or other imaging analysis methods. If not sure, you need surgery or not, Dr Hiren Patel is a great option to seek a second opinion in this regard. Once examined by the doctor and surgery is finalized, the shoulder replacement surgery takes several hours to perform.
Dr Patel will carefully remove the damaged parts and replace them with implants using advanced medical equipment available at PMG Hospital.
After the shoulder joint surgery is complete and successful, you’ll be moved to the recovery room where you’ll be monitored for several hours to recover from anesthesia. Most patients are able to eat and get out of bed after a day or two of the surgery. Even you may go home after two to three days of surgery if no complications arise.
You’ll leave the hospital with a sling that helps to support and protect your shoulder for the first 2 to 4 weeks. The staples at the wound will get removed after several weeks of the surgery. Total recovery from the shoulder replacement may take up to 6 weeks or more depending on several factors and may go through several follow up visits with the doctor before you can drive again.
