Shoulder Replacement

Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Moultrie, GA

Shoulder arthritis and severe rotator cuff injuries can cause pain, stiffness, and limited motion that no longer improve with therapy or injections. For many patients in Moultrie and the surrounding South Georgia region, shoulder replacement surgery offers long-lasting relief and restored function.

When is Shoulder Replacement Considered?

Shoulder replacement is typically recommended when:

  • Arthritis causes bone-on-bone pain and stiffness

  • Therapy, medications, and injections no longer control symptoms

  • Daily activities like reaching overhead, dressing, or sleeping are significantly limited

Types of Shoulder Replacement

🔹 Anatomic Shoulder Replacement

  • Replicates the natural ball-and-socket joint

  • Best for patients with healthy rotator cuff tendons

  • Provides excellent pain relief and range of motion when soft tissues are intact

🔹 Reverse Shoulder Replacement

  • Switches the ball and socket positions

  • Designed for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears or advanced arthritis

  • Allows the deltoid muscle to move the arm when the rotator cuff is weak or absent

What to Expect After Surgery

  • Most patients go home the same or next day

  • Physical therapy begins quickly to restore motion

  • Light daily activities return within 2–4 weeks

  • Full recovery typically takes several months, depending on the procedure type
