What is Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder replacement, also called shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged bones and cartilage of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components. This surgery is recommended for patients with severe shoulder arthritis, complex fractures, or degenerative joint disease that limits motion and causes chronic pain. The goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

Who Needs Shoulder Replacement?

You may benefit from shoulder replacement if you experience:

  • Persistent shoulder pain, even at rest or during sleep

  • Difficulty lifting your arm or reaching overhead

  • Severe stiffness or limited range of motion

  • Cracking or grinding in the shoulder

  • Shoulder instability or previous failed surgeries

  • Minimal or no relief from physiotherapy, medications, or injections

How is the Treatment Done?

Dr. Amandeep Singh Narang – M.B.B.S., DNB (Ortho), MCh (Ortho) from Dundee, U.K. – offers expert shoulder replacement surgery at MKW Hospital, Rajouri Garden.

After a detailed consultation including X-rays or MRI, Dr. Narang customizes the surgical approach based on your condition. During the procedure, the damaged head of the upper arm bone (humerus) and sometimes the shoulder socket (glenoid) are replaced with high-quality implants. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours under anesthesia.

Patients typically begin physiotherapy within 1–2 days post-surgery to restore range of motion and strength. Most people resume daily activities within a few weeks.
