Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Allahabad
Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the glenohumeral joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Shoulder replacement surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage. This surgery is necessary when severe shoulder arthritis is quite painful and can cause restriction of motion or rupture of the shoulder joint due to an accident. There are a few major approaches to access the shoulder joint. The first is the deltopectoral approach, which saves the deltoid, but requires the subscapularis to be cut. The second is the transdeltoid approach, which provides a straight-on approach at the glenoid. Shoulder replacement surgery is done by an orthopedic surgeon.
