Shoulder joint replacement surgery is a procedure to replace the diseased shoulder joint with an artificially designed prosthesis which performs the functions of a healthy shoulder joint. The entire shoulder joint may be replaced during total shoulder replacement surgery in Mumbai, or only the damaged portion of the joint is replaced during partial shoulder joint replacement surgery. Depending on your complaints and the extent of shoulder joint damage, your surgeon will decide the type of surgery that you need.
Minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy are used to perform joint replacement surgeries nowadays. Multiple small skin incisions are all that it takes to access the diseased shoulder joint and replace it with a brand new prosthesis. The advantages of minimal-access shoulder joint replacement surgery are that the patient recovers faster and experiences almost no post surgical complications.
