Shoulder replacement surgery (shoulder arthroplasty) is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to alleviate severe shoulder pain and restore overhead arm function when the glenohumeral joint is irreversibly damaged. In Virajpet, senior orthopedic and shoulder specialists perform both anatomic total shoulder replacements and reverse total shoulder replacements (rTSA) depending on the integrity of the rotator cuff musculature.

Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty replaces the humeral head with a metal sphere and the glenoid with a polyethylene socket, ideal for severe osteoarthritis with an intact rotator cuff. For complex rotator cuff tear arthropathy or severe proximal humerus fractures, reverse shoulder replacement inverts the anatomy—placing the ball on the socket side—allowing the deltoid muscle to lift the arm without relying on deficient rotator cuff tendons.

Consultation fees for orthopedic shoulder specialists in Virajpet on NectarPlus Health range from around ₹350. Diagnostic workup involves digital radiographs and shoulder MRI/CT scans to measure bone stock and plan component orientation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is shoulder replacement surgery recommended?

Shoulder replacement is indicated when end-stage osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, massive irreparable rotator cuff tears, or severe complex proximal humerus fractures cause intractable shoulder pain and prevent basic arm elevation.

What is a reverse shoulder replacement and who needs it?

Reverse shoulder replacement switches the socket and ball positions: the ball is fixed to the shoulder blade (glenoid) and the socket to the upper arm (humeral head). It is specifically designed for patients with massive rotator cuff tears and severe arthritis who cannot elevate their arm.

How long does rehabilitation take after shoulder replacement?

The arm is protected in a sling for 2 to 4 weeks with early passive motion exercises. Active motion begins at 4 to 6 weeks, with functional strength and overhead mobility progressively returning between 3 and 6 months.

How much does shoulder replacement surgery cost in Virajpet?

Consultation fees on NectarPlus Health range from around ₹350. Shoulder replacement surgery packages in Virajpet generally range between ₹2,00,000 and ₹4,50,000 depending on whether an anatomic or reverse prosthesis is required.

Can shoulder replacement relieve chronic night pain?

Yes. Over 90% of patients report dramatic and lasting relief from severe night pain and rest pain within the first few weeks after shoulder replacement surgery.
