Shoulder Replacement FAQs: Pain-Free Shoulders, Better Life

There are three main types:

• Total Shoulder Replacement (TSR): Replaces both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid).
• Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball is replaced.
• Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Suitable for patients with a damaged rotator cuff, where the ball and socket are switched.
