Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial implants. It is commonly performed to relieve chronic pain, restore mobility, and improve function in patients suffering from severe shoulder joint conditions, especially osteoarthritis or irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Cost-effective and high-quality medical care
Performed by expert orthopedic and joint replacement surgeons
Advanced prosthetic options including total and reverse shoulder implants
Minimal waiting time and personalized post-op care
Ideal for international patients seeking affordable surgical options
Total Shoulder Replacement (Anatomic): Replaces both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) with prosthetics.
Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement: Used when rotator cuff muscles are severely damaged; the positions of the ball and socket are reversed.
Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the humeral head is replaced.
Chronic shoulder pain that interferes with daily activities
Limited range of motion despite physical therapy or medication
Shoulder joint damage from arthritis, fractures, or rotator cuff tears
Failure of previous shoulder surgery
Tumors around the shoulder joint

| Types of Shoulder Replacement Surgery Treatment | Treatment Cost In USD |
|
Total Shoulder Replacement (TSR) Total shoulder replacement (TSR) involves replacing the damaged humeral head (ball) and glenoid (socket) with prosthetic components to restore pain-free motion in severe arthritis or joint degeneration. By mimicking natural anatomy, TSR improves function and durability, making it the gold standard for end-stage shoulder arthritis with an intact rotator cuff. |
$4700–$5400 |
|
Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) Partial shoulder replacement (hemiarthroplasty) involves replacing only the damaged humeral head while preserving the natural glenoid socket. This approach is ideal for patients with isolated humeral-sided damage, such as fractures or focal arthritis, when the socket remains healthy. It offers simpler surgery and faster recovery but may require future conversion to total replacement if arthritis progresses. |
$4900-$5700 |
|
Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder replacement repositions the joint’s anatomy, placing the “ball” on the scapula and the “socket” on the humerus. This design relies on the deltoid muscle instead of a torn rotator cuff to restore function, making it ideal for severe arthritis with irreparable cuff tears. Though it limits overhead motion, it significantly reduces pain and improves stability |
$5100–$5800 |
|
Resurfacing Shoulder Replacement Resurfacing shoulder replacement involves capping the damaged humeral head with a smooth metal prosthesis, preserving more natural bone than traditional replacements. Ideal for early-stage arthritis or younger patients, it reduces pain while maintaining joint anatomy. However, it’s unsuitable for advanced joint damage or rotator cuff deficiency. Recovery is typically quicker due to its bone-conserving approach. |
$5300-$6300 |
