When these cartilage surfaces degenerate or disintegrate, the bone contacts “During a shoulder replacement, damaged areas of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts for a completely normal shoulder movement.”

The patient also starts moving fingers, wrist and elbow, and can start some shoulder movements the day after surgery, and patients can go back to office work. 2-3 weeks after surgery.
