FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

Here are some common questions about shoulder replacement surgery and their treatment.

Have More Questions? →

What is the difference between Anatomical and Reverse Shoulder Replacement? ×

An Anatomical replacement replicates natural joint anatomy and requires intact rotator cuff tendons. A Reverse Shoulder Replacement switches the ball and socket, allowing the outer deltoid muscle to lift the arm even if rotator cuff tendons are completely torn or gone.

How long do modern shoulder replacements last? +

Modern implants manufactured with highly cross-linked polyethylene and titanium bearings last over 15 to 20+ years in over 90% of patients.

How soon will the severe arthritis pain stop after surgery? +

The agonizing bone-on-bone arthritic pain disappears immediately following surgery. Most patients report sleeping through the entire night within the very first week.

Will I be able to drive and perform daily activities? +

Yes. Most patients resume driving within 6 to 8 weeks and enjoy gardening, swimming, golf, yoga, and pain-free daily independence within 3 to 4 months.
