Shoulder joint replacement is very successful in relieving any type of shoulder joint pain. This surgery can correct any form of painful shoulder condition and associated shoulder arthritis type. This surgery is considered a final treatment plan, when all forms of lifestyle change and medications fail to cure pain. Painful shoulder arthritis means the removal of smooth cartilage surfaces of the shoulder.
Post-surgery gas in the shoulder is a common occurrence, affecting around 10-20 of patients.
Shoulder surgery is performed by using a form of a telescope through cuts in the skin. You will be under a general anesthetiser during the procedure which means you will be asleep and given local anaesthetic after the procedure to stop the pain. If you smoke you will have to stop and you will have to fast (go on a special water diet) before the operation.
The average cost of shoulder replacement surgery is $10,000.
