CTA hemiarthroplasty refers to a type of surgical procedure used to treat severe shoulder Arthritis or fractures, specifically involving the humeral head. "CTA" stands for "cap and stem" arthroplasty, where the damaged part of the shoulder joint is replaced with a prosthetic component (the "cap") that sits on the humeral head, while the "stem" is inserted into the humerus. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the range of motion in the shoulder. It is often recommended when the rotator cuff is intact and the overall joint structure is preserved.
