Shoulder replacement surgery is an operation that replaces the damaged surfaces of the shoulder joint with a replacement joint (prosthesis). The main reason for performing the operation is to reduce the pain in your shoulder.

Hopefully, you may also have more movement in your shoulder. This will depend on how stiff the joint was before the operation and if the muscles around the shoulder are damaged and unable to work normally. There are different types of shoulder replacement, your options will be discussed at clinic with your Orthopaedic team and are dependent on the condition of your shoulder.
