Shoulder

What is artificial shoulder joint surgery?

Shoulder joint is one of the most sophisticated and complex joints in human body with the largest range of motion. When a shoulder joint is injured, conservative treatment is provided in the initial stages such as medication, injection and special physical therapy. When pain is severe, surgical treatment using arthroscopy is performed to remove cause of pain and recover joint functions. Artificial joint surgery is the ultimate choice to those who show no improvement from conservative treatment or broad rupture makes arthroscopy surgery difficult. Two different types of artificial joints are applied depending on the degree of rupture in rotator cuff to maintain movement of a normal shoulder prior to surgery.
