What is Reverse Shoulder Replacement?
Reverse shoulder replacement is a specialized surgical procedure used to treat severe shoulder arthritis or complex rotator cuff tears that cannot be managed by traditional shoulder replacement. In this procedure, the normal ball-and-socket structure of the shoulder is reversed, with the ball component placed on the shoulder blade and the socket on the arm bone. This approach provides better stability and improved shoulder function, especially for patients with significant rotator cuff damage.
