Shoulder Replacement Surgery

A prosthetic joint is used to replace an arthritic joint that is causing severe pain. It involves removal of the bone and replacement of the joint surfaces using a combination of metal and plastic.

There are two types of shoulder replacement: standard and a reverse geometry. The latter is used in patients who have a deficient rotator cuff due to torn tendons thus lacking the stability around the joint. The prosthesis is effectively a ‘back to front version’ of the natural joint. This increases the joint stability by increasing the contact surface area of the joint.

Rehabilitation following both types of surgery involves increasing the range of movement, reducing pain and restoring sufficient strength across the joint to complete functional tasks.

Testimonials...

Three different orthopaedic consultants referred me to Nick Garland for knee, back and wrist problems and I have returned for golf related injuries. I have been absolutely delighted with the treatments received and will continue to recommend the practice to family and friends. The practice provides high levels of professional expertise coupled with an integrity that I found lacking in most other chiropractic/osteopathy/physiotherapy practices I have visited over the years. They are first class, friendly and competent.

Hayley is Ace! All staff friendly and helpful. Reception team EXCELLENT too! Have recommended to several people and they think the same

Just wish I’d seen Hayley many years ago after my breast surgery. After 18 months of pain I am now almost pain free having had treatment for a few short months from Hayley. Thank you so much

Excellent service; all round mind body and soul. I was in great pain and was very anxious when I first came for physiotherapy and have now made a 100% recovery.

Excellent physio care delivered with skill and confidence
