Reverse shoulder replacement

Minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to repair labral tears, hip impingement, cartilage damage and early-stage arthritis. This technique is ideal for young, active patients who want to preserve their natural joint and delay or prevent the need for major surgery.

Partial shoulder arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty)

Partial shoulder arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged head of the humerus (bone in the upper arm) and leaves the natural cavity (glenoid) intact. It is usually recommended for patients with severe fractures or arthritis that are limited to one part of the joint. This option preserves the patient's natural anatomy to a greater extent and can allow for a faster recovery and a greater range of motion compared to total shoulder replacement.

Understanding the recovery process
