Surgery

Shoulder arthroplasty is a surgery that aims to replace the joint surfaces worn by an artificial prosthesis.

There are two types, used depending on the condition of the rotator cuff (set of muscles
and ligaments stabilizing the joint):

The prosthesis anatomical is indicated when the rotator
cuff is in good condition.

In this type of prosthesis, we distinguish:

- the anatomical "hemi" prosthesis
=> only the articular surface of the humeral head
is replaced,
- the total anatomical prosthesis
=> both sides of the joint are prosthetized

The so-called " reverse " prosthesis when the rotator
cuff is deficient.
