Shoulder replacement is an advanced orthopedic surgical procedure performed to relieve severe shoulder pain and restore joint function when conservative treatments fail. The procedure involves replacing damaged parts of the shoulder joint with high-quality artificial implants to recreate smooth, pain-free movement.
With extensive expertise in joint replacement surgery, Dr. Dnyaneshwar, a senior Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon in Bangalore, offers personalized shoulder replacement solutions using modern surgical techniques and proven implants for long-lasting results.
Shoulder replacement may be recommended for:
Advanced shoulder arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)
Severe shoulder pain affecting daily activities
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
Complex shoulder fractures in elderly patients
Avascular necrosis of the humeral head
Failed previous shoulder surgeries
The goal is to relieve pain and restore shoulder mobility.
Common causes leading to shoulder joint damage include:
Age-related wear and tear
Chronic inflammation of the shoulder joint
Previous trauma or fractures
Untreated rotator cuff tears
Repeated shoulder injuries
Autoimmune conditions affecting joints
Consult Dr. Dnyaneshwar if you experience:
Persistent shoulder pain not relieved by medication or therapy
Severe stiffness or loss of shoulder movement
Pain disturbing sleep or daily activities

Diagnosis includes:
Detailed clinical examination
