Shoulder replacement is a surgery in which damaged parts of
the shoulder are removed and replaced with artificial components, called prosthesis.
There are many causes are involved of shoulder replacement, which are; post
traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumor around the shoulder, avascular
necrosis etc. There are many types of shoulder surgery such as shoulder
resurfacing arthroplasty, partial shoulder surgery, total shoulder surgery and
reverse shoulder surgery. In shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty, only damaged
part is replaced. In partial shoulder surgery, one part of the joint is
replaced. In total shoulder surgery, both parts of the joint are replaced. The
reverse shoulder replacement allows other muscles such as the deltoid to do the
work of the damaged rotator cuff tendons.
The main goal of the shoulder replacement treatment is to
provide relief from the pain.The secondary benefit is to restore the motion,
strength, function and return patients to the normal activity level. By
shoulder replacement surgery, patients are able to perform their personal
initiatives like individual training, yoga and pilates.
In shoulder replacement surgery, there are numerous
procedures such as shoulder replacement, shoulder resurfacing, rotator cuff
repair, capsular release for frozen shoulder and shoulder arthroscopy. Shoulder
resurfacing is used by physicians at rush for patients who are young and have
active lifestyles. Rotator cuff repair is surgery to repair a torn tendon in
the shoulder. The procedure can be done with a large incision or with shoulder
arthroscopy, which uses smaller incisions.
In India, there are many international accredited partner
hospitals and patient centered approach with well equipped facilities. These
international accredited hospitals are capable of handling the latest
techniques and procedures. These facilities are more effective, efficient and
pleasant solutions for patients.The Indian government has made shoulder
replacement surgery easier for visitor’s health treatments to enter the
country. Visitors may enjoy up to six months of visa extension with the
relevant letter from the medical centre and may be receiving medical treatment.
In China apart from imbalanced distribution of economic
resources lack of medical insurance have caused many patients not proceeding
with shoulder replacement surgery. Another problem in China is an insufficient
number of surgeons. So doctors who have not been trained professionally
implement joint replacement for patients. The Chinese government and the orthopaedics
committee of the Chinese medical association are aware about all the problems,
and in process to addressthe steps.
There are many risks are involved in shoulder replacement
surgery such as infection, nerve injury, slow healing, blood clots, lack of
good range of motion, fracture of the upper arm bone and dislocation of the
upper arm bone etc.
In recent years, a new type of shoulder replacement is based
on the reverse shoulder. The design of the reverse shoulder replacement is
based on the fact that nature the shoulder ball rests against the socket. The shoulder
replacement is expected to haveto beimproved furtherbased on the bearing
surfaces and the use of the ceramic alumina fora satisfactory design.
