Recover Strength, Stability, and Pain-Free Mobility with Expert Total Shoulder Replacement in Encinitas by Dr. Samagh
What is Total Shoulder Replacement?
Total shoulder replacement, also known as total shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces the shoulder joint's damaged ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) with prosthetic components. This procedure is highly effective in relieving pain and restoring full mobility in patients with severe arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration.
At SPORT, we specialize in total shoulder replacement in San Diego. We use cutting-edge techniques coupled with a comprehensive physical therapy plan, including advanced regenerative therapies, to ensure optimal recovery and long-term shoulder health.
What Causes Shoulder Damage Requiring Total Shoulder Replacement?
Chronic shoulder pain and stiffness can result from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or severe fractures. Athletes involved in high-impact sports such as football, baseball, and basketball may also develop joint deterioration over time, leading to the need for shoulder replacement surgery. When the cartilage in the shoulder joint is completely worn down, total shoulder replacement surgery in San Diego can provide lasting relief and restore function.
Am I a Good Candidate for Total Shoulder Replacement?
If you suffer from chronic shoulder pain, loss of motion, joint instability, or weakness that interferes with daily activities — and non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections have not provided relief — you may be a candidate for total shoulder replacement surgery in San Diego. Consulting with Dr. Sanjum Samagh, widely regarded as the best shoulder replacement surgeon in San Diego, will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
