What Is Shoulder Replacement?

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure that removes the damaged parts of your shoulder joint and replaces them with smooth, artificial components. It’s commonly recommended for people with:

  • Severe shoulder arthritis
  • Chronic pain that doesn’t respond to therapy or injections
  • Joint damage after fractures or injury
  • Loss of mobility or strength
  • Irreparable rotator cuff tears

The goal is to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and help you return to your daily activities — from dressing and driving to lifting, reaching, and sleeping better.

Types of Shoulder Replacement

Dr. Vercio will recommend the right approach based on your condition, lifestyle, and anatomy.

Total Shoulder Replacement

The most common procedure. Damaged bone and cartilage are replaced with a metal ball and plastic socket.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Ideal for patients with large rotator cuff tears or previous failed surgeries. This approach switches the ball-and-socket orientation to restore stability and strength.

What to Expect

Dr. Vercio walks you through every step of the journey — from preparing for surgery to recovering with confidence.

  • Outpatient procedure
  • Physical therapy begins shortly after surgery
  • Most patients return to light activities in a few weeks
  • Full recovery typically within 3–6 months

Every plan is personalized, and you’ll never feel rushed or left in the dark.
