What Is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?

Shoulder replacement surgery involves replacing damaged parts of the shoulder joint—typically caused by arthritis, injury, or degeneration—with a prosthetic implant. This helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and restore function.

There are different types of procedures depending on your condition:

Total Shoulder Replacement
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)

Your consultant will advise on the most appropriate approach based on your diagnosis.

Conditions Treated with Shoulder Replacement

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rotator cuff arthropathy
Severe fractures or trauma
Avascular necrosis
Chronic shoulder instability

What to Expect

Initial Consultation
You’ll meet with one of our orthopaedic surgeons who will assess your shoulder through a physical examination and imaging. They’ll explain your options clearly and help you decide if surgery is right for you.
The Procedure
Surgery typically takes 1–2 hours under general anaesthesia. Damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic.
Recovery & Aftercare
Patients usually stay in hospital for 1–2 nights. You’ll begin gentle physiotherapy soon after surgery to regain motion and strength, with ongoing support from our in-house rehabilitation team.
