Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure used to replace the damaged humeral head (ball) of the shoulder joint while preserving the natural socket (glenoid). This procedure is commonly performed for severe shoulder fractures, arthritis, or avascular necrosis when the socket remains intact and functional.

Dr. Shekhar Srivastav, a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon in Delhi, specializes in Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty, offering precise and effective solutions for patients suffering from shoulder pain, fractures, and limited mobility.

Who Needs Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty?

This procedure is recommended for individuals who have:

• Severe fractures of the humeral head that cannot be repaired.
• Avascular necrosis (bone death) due to loss of blood supply to the humeral head.
• Severe arthritis with extensive damage to the humeral head but a well-preserved socket.
• Failed previous shoulder surgeries that require joint reconstruction.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• Anesthesia – The patient is given general or regional anesthesia.
• Damaged Bone Removal – The humeral head (ball of the shoulder joint) is removed while preserving the socket.
Implant Fixation – A metal prosthetic ball is fixed into the upper arm bone (humerus) using a stem. Closure and Recovery – The joint is tested for smooth motion, the incisions are closed, and a structured rehabilitation plan is initiated.
