Patientsu2019 apprehensions about the cost and outcome<\/strong> of the surgery are partly responsible for this. The cost factor can be taken care of, thanks to cheap shoulder replacement surgery<\/strong> available in India, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Belgium.rnrnIt is not only the cost advantage<\/strong> that medical tourists get, but also the high quality<\/strong> and personalized medical care<\/strong> when they go overseas. Shoulder replacement isu00a0very safe<\/a> and has very good results. It is no riskier than other joint replacement surgeries.rnrnThe indications for shoulder replacement are pain<\/strong> from arthritis, wearing<\/strong> out of the joints, or shoulder injury<\/strong> and the attendant loss of function.<\/strong>rnrnSurgery is recommended when the shoulder pain is unresponsive to non-surgical treatment<\/strong> such as inflammatory medications, steroid injections, and rest.rnrnHowever, surgery is sometimes not offered<\/strong> to people with high expectations from shoulder replacement, like athletes, tennis players, painters,<\/strong> etc. This is because, though the artificial shoulder<\/strong> allows a person to do routine activities with less pain, it does not restore the level of function that the person had before the shoulder joint was damaged.rnrn rnrn<\/p>\n rnrnThe joint is approached through a large incision<\/strong> in the shoulder region. The upper joint of the humerous (the upper arm bone) is cut and removed.rnrnThe removed part is replaced<\/strong> by an artificial surface known as u2018prosthesisu2019.<\/strong>rnrnThe prosthesis may need to be cemented<\/strong> to the bone or it may be made of material that allows new bone to grow into the joint over time to hold it in place without cement.rnrnShoulder replacement surgery may be done under regional or general anesthesia<\/strong>, depending on your orthopedic surgeonu2019s opinion, your health, and on what you prefer.rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>rnrn\n rn t<\/p>\n rn<\/ul>\n rn<\/p>\n (Source:u00a0The Shoulder<\/em>u00a0by Edward V.

Shoulder Replacement Vs Shoulder Resurfacing<\/h2>\n rnrnIn shoulder resurfacing<\/strong>, bone spurs are removed and the joint surface is smoothened. A lot of bone is conserved in this procedure as opposed to shoulder replacement, in which the humeral head and the shoulder socket is removed and replaced with an artificial implant.rnrnShoulder resurfacing is generally indicated for young, active adults<\/strong>, who will have greater expectations or place greater demands on their body.rnrnAlso, a shoulder resurfacing can always be converted to a total shoulder replacement<\/strong> later, if needed.rnrnShoulder resurfacing is minimally invasive<\/strong> and hence recovery<\/strong> is faster<\/strong> and less painful.rnrnHowever, not all patients with shoulder arthritis or other shoulder problems automatically qualify<\/strong> for shoulder resurfacing surgery.rnrnIf the shoulder head and surrounding areas are substantially worn away or damaged because of trauma, they may be better off with shoulder replacement<\/strong> than shoulder surgery.rnrn
