Shoulder Joint Replacement

The shoulder joint surfaces are formed by the humerus (arm bone) and the scapula. The surfaces are covered by cartilage. Certain conditions may indicate the need for a replacement for the shoulder joint such as: osteoarthritis (shown), persistent shoulder pain, severe loss of joint function, osteonecrosis and fractures. A replacement joint can help alleviate pain and improve function. The replacement joint usually has two parts that replace the joint surfaces and is made of a combination of metal and plastic.
