Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery:

A prosthetic ball by the opting surgical method is attached at the shoulder blade, thereafter, the artificial socket is built at the top of the upper arm bone. Replacing the place of the ball and socket allows the shoulder to bypass the damaged tendons and muscles, and instead utilize the muscles at the top of the arm and shoulder. This helps to balance the shoulder joint and restore pain-free motion or function.
