Reverse Shoulder Replacement is an advanced surgical procedure designed for patients with severe shoulder arthritis, irreparable rotator cuff tears, or complex fractures. Unlike a standard shoulder replacement, this procedure reverses the ball-and-socket structure of the shoulder joint, allowing the deltoid muscle to take over the function of the damaged rotator cuff.

Dr. Shekhar Srivastav, a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Delhi, specializes in Reverse Shoulder Replacement, helping patients regain pain-free movement and improved shoulder function when conventional treatments fail.

Who Needs Reverse Shoulder Replacement?

This procedure is recommended for individuals who have:

• Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears leading to weakness and instability.
• Severe shoulder arthritis (Rotator Cuff Arthropathy) with pain and stiffness.
• Failed previous shoulder surgeries or replacements.
• Severe fractures of the upper arm bone (humerus) that cannot be reconstructed.
• Chronic shoulder dislocations causing instability and limited movement.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• Anesthesia – The patient is given general or regional anesthesia.
• Reversing the Joint Structure – The normal ball-and-socket anatomy is reversed, with a metal ball placed on the shoulder blade (glenoid) and a plastic socket implanted in the arm bone (humerus).
Implant Fixation – The new joint components are securely attached, allowing the deltoid muscle to move the arm. Closure and Recovery – The incisions are closed, and a rehabilitation plan is initiated.

Benefits of Reverse Shoulder Replacement

• Restores shoulder function when traditional replacements fail.
• Provides pain relief and improves range of motion.
• Minimally invasive approach with advanced surgical techniques.
• Long-lasting results with durable implants.
• Higher success rates for patients with complex shoulder conditions.
