Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Reverse shoulder replacement is an advanced surgical procedure used to treat severe shoulder conditions, especially when the rotator cuff muscles are damaged or non-functional. In this procedure, the normal structure of the shoulder joint is reversed, allowing other muscles (like the deltoid) to take over and improve arm movement.
It is commonly recommended for patients with rotator cuff tears, complex fractures, or failed previous shoulder surgeries. This procedure helps relieve pain, restore function, and improve the ability to lift and move the arm, even in cases where traditional shoulder replacement may not be effective.
