Shoulder prostheses

Shoulder pain can be debilitating and restrict daily activities. It can require a high dose of pain killers, which can have dangerous side effects. Shoulder prostheses are a good option for patients who want to get back to normal, but do not want to take medications. A shoulder prosthesis will alleviate pain and allow you to continue the activities that you love. Unlike with other surgeries, shoulder prostheses won't worsen over time.

Shoulder prostheses replace cartilage that has been worn out from overuse. They come in the form of a metal part that is attached to the humerus, and a polyethylene piece that is fixed to the scapula. They are secured with cement and can withstand a high degree of force. Surgical fitting of shoulder-prostheses is a major procedure and requires general anaesthesia. The procedure takes from one to two hours. After the surgery, patients must undergo physical therapy to regain mobility and strength.

While most patients with shoulder injuries will not need this surgery, it is important to be healthy before surgery to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Infection of the prosthesis is one of the most common and dangerous. Ensure that any other health conditions you have are under control and that they are treated prior to surgery. This can include heart problems, kidney, bladder, tooth, and urinary tract infections. Make sure to get tested before your shoulder surgery.

Shoulder prostheses have a range of advantages. Patients who have severely damaged or degenerated shoulders may be unable to move their shoulders behind their back or above their head. Because shoulder protheses are customized, the surgery can be risky, but it is a good option for some patients. There are several factors that go into a patient's health before surgery, so a proper diagnosis will be critical for a successful outcome.

A shoulder prosthesis can be made of a number of different components, which include a metal ball and a smooth plastic surface. The prosthesis is designed to function in a shoulder with severe damage or degeneration. These prostheses can also be used in people with a variety of other medical conditions. The right one is essential for the patient's overall well-being. In addition to a better quality of life, a shoulder prosthesis will reduce the risk of complications.

The Grammont reverse shoulder prosthesis is a semi-constrained implant with a metal ball and a plastic glenoid. The Grammont humeral stem is intended for anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Its reverse glenoid component is made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The new model can be used in anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures.
