What is Reverse Shoulder Replacement?
Reverse shoulder replacement is an advanced surgical procedure designed for patients with severe shoulder arthritis, complex fractures, or irreparable rotator cuff tears. Unlike a conventional shoulder replacement, the positions of the ball and socket are reversed, allowing the deltoid muscle to perform the function of the damaged rotator cuff.
This innovative design restores shoulder movement, improves stability, and significantly reduces pain, enabling patients to perform everyday activities more comfortably.
