Reemplazo de hombro
Cuando las opciones no quirúrgicas, como la fisioterapia y los medicamentos, no logran aliviar el dolor crónico de hombro, es posible que necesite una cirugía de reemplazo de hombro para aliviar el dolor y recuperar la movilidad. Durante el procedimiento, un cirujano ortopédico extraerá las partes dañadas del hombro y las reemplazará por componentes artificiales.

Shoulder replacement surgeries we perform
You don't have to push through the pain. Combining the latest advancements in shoulder replacement surgery with compassionate, patient-focused care, our orthopedic surgeons want you to move comfortably again. The procedures they perform include:
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty – If you've experienced rotator cuff injuries, then reverse shoulder replacement might be the best option for you. During this procedure, the normal ball-and-socket structure is reversed. The socket implant is attached to the top of the humerus, where the ball used to be, restoring function to your shoulder.
- Total shoulder arthroplasty – Damage to your shoulder can cause weakness and stiffness, making even the most mundane part of your daily routine suddenly seem complicated. During shoulder replacement surgery, our specialists remove the damaged areas of bone and replace them with implants. Our hope is that you'll return to the activities you love after undergoing this procedure and our inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient rehabilitation services.
