Get Your Shoulder Function Back with Expert Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement in San Diego by Dr. Samagh
What is Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement?
Reverse total shoulder replacement is a specialized surgical procedure designed for patients with shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff failure. Unlike traditional shoulder joint replacement, which uses a ball-and-socket design, reverse total shoulder replacement swaps the positions of the ball and socket. This unique approach allows the deltoid muscle to compensate for the lack of rotator cuff function, restoring mobility and alleviating pain.
At SPORT, we specialize in reverse total shoulder replacement in San Diego. We use advanced surgical techniques and a comprehensive recovery plan, including cutting-edge regenerative therapies, to ensure you regain the mobility and strength you need to return to your active lifestyle.
What Causes Shoulder Damage Requiring Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement?
Severe shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or failed previous surgeries can all lead to the need for reverse total shoulder replacement. Conditions such as arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, or complex fractures that damage the joint's stabilizing muscles often result in pain and loss of motion. If conservative treatments no longer provide relief, reverse total shoulder replacement may be the best option for restoring shoulder function and reducing pain.
Am I a Good Candidate for Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement?
If you suffer from chronic shoulder pain and limited range of motion due to arthritis, rotator cuff failure, or a complex shoulder injury, and conservative treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medications haven’t helped, you might be a good candidate for reverse total shoulder replacement surgery in San Diego.
Dr. Sanjum Samagh, one of the top shoulder surgeons in San Diego, will evaluate your condition to determine if this procedure is right for you, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment for your unique needs.
