Regain Shoulder Strength and Motion with Expert Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Are you struggling with shoulder pain that limits your ability to lift your arm, sleep comfortably, or carry out daily tasks? Dr. Prasanna Kumar G S offers advanced shoulder replacement surgery in Bangalore to relieve chronic pain and restore shoulder function. Whether caused by arthritis, severe rotator cuff damage, or previous trauma, shoulder joint problems can be life-altering—but they don’t have to be permanent.

Shoulder replacement involves replacing damaged parts of the shoulder joint—either partially or completely—with artificial components that mimic natural movement. Dr. Prasanna uses the latest techniques, high-quality implants, and a patient-focused approach to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and smooth recovery.

Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgeries We Perform

  • Total Shoulder Replacement:

    • Recommended for patients with severe osteoarthritis or joint degeneration. The ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) are replaced with smooth, artificial components to restore pain-free motion.

  • Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty):

    • Only the humeral head is replaced, often after specific fractures or when the socket remains intact and healthy.

  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement:

    • Ideal for patients with massive rotator cuff tears or failed previous surgeries. In this procedure, the joint mechanics are reversed to rely on different muscles for shoulder movement and stability.

When to Consider Shoulder Replacement?

You may benefit from a consultation if you experience:

  • Persistent shoulder pain that doesn’t improve with medications or physiotherapy
  • Stiffness or difficulty lifting your arm overhead or behind your back
  • Rotator cuff injuries with joint damage
  • Severe arthritis or bone-on-bone contact in the shoulder joint
  • Failed previous shoulder surgeries or joint deformity

Some Common Questions

Have questions you want answers to?

Shoulder replacement (shoulder arthroplasty) replaces damaged shoulder joint surfaces with prosthetic components. It is recommended for severe osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and complex shoulder fractures. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur performs total, partial, and reverse shoulder replacements.

Reverse shoulder replacement flips the ball-and-socket configuration — the prosthetic ball attaches to the socket and the cup to the arm bone. It is specifically designed for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears combined with arthritis, enabling arm elevation using the deltoid muscle instead of the rotator cuff.

Arm sling is worn for 4–6 weeks post-surgery. Physiotherapy begins early to restore range of motion and strength. Most patients regain significant function within 3 months, with full recovery in 6–12 months depending on the procedure type and patient compliance.

Yes, Dr. Prasanna's clinic in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore offers complete shoulder replacement services including pre-operative evaluation, advanced implant systems, surgery, and post-operative rehabilitation. Patients from across Bangalore choose Dr. Prasanna for shoulder arthroplasty.

Shoulder replacement is generally safe. Potential risks include infection, nerve injury, implant loosening, and instability. Dr. Prasanna mitigates these risks through meticulous surgical technique, antibiotic prophylaxis, and rigorous post-operative monitoring at his Yeshwanthpur clinic.

Most patients experience significant improvement in range of motion and pain relief. Total recovery varies — patients can typically perform overhead activities within 4–6 months. Reverse shoulder replacement patients often achieve remarkable functional gains even without an intact rotator cuff.

Total shoulder replacement replaces both the humeral head and glenoid surface, while partial (hemi) replacement replaces only the humeral head. Total replacement is recommended for glenoid arthritis, while partial replacement suits certain fractures or conditions with intact glenoid cartilage.

Shoulder implants typically last 10–20 years. Longevity depends on the implant type, surgical precision, and patient activity level. Dr. Prasanna uses premium implant systems at his Yeshwanthpur clinic to maximize durability and long-term patient satisfaction.
