Shoulder joint replacement is less common than knee or hip replacement, but it is just as successful in relieving joint pain.
Shoulder replacement surgery has been performed for over 50 years but is done increasingly for various shoulder conditions. 32406 have been performed between 2000 and 2015, in Australia. The number increased by 7.3% in 2015 over the previous year.
Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis, trauma and rotator cuff damage.
