Total Shoulder Arthroplasty at Artisan Sports & Orthopaedic Surgery

Regain Your Shoulder's Functionality and Relieve Pain with Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Are you experiencing persistent shoulder pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion due to an injury or condition? Total shoulder arthroplasty, also known as total shoulder replacement, could be the solution you need to restore functionality and alleviate discomfort.

The shoulder joint is a complex system consisting of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, working together to provide a wide range of motion. However, injuries, wear and tear, or conditions such as osteoarthritis can lead to pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility.

At Artisan Sports & Orthopaedic Surgery, our highly skilled orthopaedic surgeons specialize in total shoulder arthroplasty. This surgical procedure involves replacing the damaged or injured parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components or prostheses.

How Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Works

During the procedure, our experienced surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques, using an arthroscope and small incisions. This approach allows for better visualization and precise placement of the prosthetic components, which are designed to mimic the natural anatomy of your shoulder joint.

The benefits of total shoulder arthroplasty include:

• Elimination of shoulder pain and stiffness
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Strengthening and stabilization of the shoulder joint
• Enhanced quality of life

Conditions Treated by Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Total shoulder arthroplasty can effectively address various shoulder conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that leads to the breakdown of cartilage and joint deterioration.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation and damage to joints.
• Shoulder injuries: Such as rotator cuff tears, fractures, or severe damage to the joint.

Recovery and Results

After undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty, it is normal to experience temporary swelling and bruising in the shoulder and arm. Our dedicated team of professionals will guide you through a tailored rehabilitation program, including physiotherapy sessions to restore strength and mobility.

The results of total shoulder arthroplasty vary depending on your unique circumstances and the severity of your condition. However, most patients experience a significant reduction in pain, improved range of motion, and a return to their daily activities with greater ease.

Collaborate with our expert orthopaedic team, who will provide comprehensive post-surgical care and guide you through the recovery process to achieve the best possible outcome.
