Shoulder Resurfacing Procedure- Madras Joint replacement center

Dr.Venkatachalam performs a shoulder resurfacing for a patient suffering from osteoarthritis. Shoulder resurfacing is a superior alternative to replacement. Debilitating pain from osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis is relieved promptly. It is a bone sparing procedure and can be done as an outpatient. We use the Copeland shoulder prosthesis in shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty. In this procedure, a metal cap is used to cap the worn out end of the upper end of the arm bone. If the socket is worn, a plastic tray is cemented to cover it as well. As the surgical approach is minimally invasive, recovery is considerably faster than a traditional shoulder replacement. Shoulder resurfacing is not available in the Unites states of America and many patients seek this procedure at an affordable cost in India. E mail - [email protected] to get an appointment.
