S/P Total Shoulder Replacement

$74.97
Definition:
Total shoulder joint replacement is an option given to patients who suffer from joint dysfunction. This is usually the result of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, but more rarely for those who have sustained severe trauma from a shoulder fracture. Generally, all other modes of treatment are considered first, such as physical therapy and medication, but total shoulder replacement can provide pain relief and increased mobility for those who have not experienced relief. The primary goal of total shoulder replacement surgery is to alleviate pain with secondary goals of improving motion, strength and function.
