Details.
Muscle-sparing surgery for advanced shoulder osteoarthritis, replacing damaged joint surfaces with high-performance implants to reduce deep arthritis pain and restore range of motion. The procedure may use an anatomic total shoulder replacement for patients with an intact rotator cuff, or a reverse total shoulder replacement for patients with rotator cuff damage, bone erosion, or both. The package includes surgery, hospital care, a follow-up consultation, and pain medication. Patients typically stay in hospital for 1 to 2 nights. Recovery guidance includes sling protection for weeks 0 to 6, return to driving and light daily activities during weeks 6 to 12, and return to swimming, golf, and gardening during months 3 to 6.
