What is the difference between anatomical and reverse shoulder replacement?

Anatomical shoulder replacement preserves the natural ball on socket configuration and is used when the rotator cuff muscles are intact. Reverse shoulder replacement swaps the ball and socket positions so the deltoid muscle can move the arm it is used when the rotator cuff is torn beyond repair.

How long is recovery after shoulder replacement?

Most patients wear an arm sling for 4–6 weeks after shoulder replacement, begin structured physiotherapy within days, and see meaningful improvement in pain and range of motion by 3 months. Full recovery to comfortable overhead activity typically takes 6 months.

Is elbow replacement common?

Elbow replacement is less common than knee or hip replacement, but it is a well-established procedure for severe elbow arthritis and certain complex elbow fractures particularly in older patients. It provides excellent pain relief and functional use of the arm.
