What is Shoulder and Elbow Joint Replacement?

Shoulder and elbow replacement surgeries involve removing damaged parts of the joint and replacing them with artificial components (prostheses) to restore natural movement and relieve pain. These procedures are recommended when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections no longer provide relief.

Common Reasons for Joint Replacement

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Autoimmune inflammation and joint damage
Severe Fractures: Trauma that cannot be repaired with fixation

Failed Previous Surgeries: Revision needed after unsuccessful prior treatments
