Introduction

Restoring mobility and independence.
Much of our daily activity relies on our joints. They are at work whenever we walk, bend, reach or get up from a chair. Usually our joints work so well we rarely notice them. However, joints can become diseased or injured and have a major impact on our ability to function.

Shoulder replacement surgery is not an easy decision. However, the majority of people who undergo shoulder replacement report significant improvement in function and comfort.

This site is designed to help you understand the potential benefits and risks of shoulder replacement, what to expect during shoulder surgery, as well as rehabilitation.

Every patient is unique, so you may have questions that aren't answered in this site. Take note of special instructions your doctor may have for you, along with medications, phone numbers and any other pertinent information.
