Shoulder Joint Replacement
Shoulder Joint Replacement: Procedure and Reasons
Dr. Arun Jyothi offers shoulder joint replacement surgery to relieve pain and restore mobility caused by arthritis and joint damage. In this procedure, the damaged ball of the shoulder joint is replaced with a stainless-steel ball, and a titanium stem anchors it to the upper arm bone. A durable plastic socket is also added to prevent painful bone-on-bone contact. The surgery helps reduce stiffness by releasing tight tissues around the joint.
The most common reason for shoulder replacement is osteoarthritis, which causes the cartilage in the joint to wear down over time. Aging, past shoulder injuries, and overuse can all contribute to this condition. In some cases, genetics may also play a role in early joint damage. Dr. Arun Jyothi focuses on restoring shoulder strength and function, so patients can return to daily activities with less pain.

Preparation, Aftercare, and Recovery
Before undergoing shoulder joint replacement, you need a comprehensive evaluation. Your surgeon will review your medical history, conduct a physical examination to assess your shoulder’s range of motion and strength, and may recommend imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs. This process ensures that the procedure is suitable for your condition and provides the surgeon with the necessary information for a successful outcome.
Post-surgery, you will manage pain and prevent infection. The medical team administers painkillers and antibiotics, and they will immobilize your arm in a sling during the early recovery phase to support the shoulder. Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery to strengthen the shoulder, improve mobility, and restore function. Gradual rehabilitation allows you to regain strength and return to daily activities, although recovery time varies from person to person. By following your surgeon’s instructions and attending physiotherapy, you can expect to see progress in healing and mobility.
