NOT ABLE TO GRAB THINGS FROM THE UPPER SHELF?

You might have some issues with your shoulder joint that need immediate attention!

Shoulder Joint is one of the most important joints of our body and grants us the freedom of movement of our upper limb in various directions. Hence, is a subject to wear and tear with advancing age. 

Anatomically, it is a type of Synovial Joint of Ball and Socket variety and is formed at the junction of upper limb with the Thorax of our body.

The Shoulder joint comprises of 3 bones namely- Humerus (upper arm bone), Clavicle (collar bone) and Scapula (shoulder blade). The articulation takes place between the head of Humerus and the Glenoid Cavity and is supported by the presence of various muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Shoulder Discomfort/Pain can arise from a lot of reasons like- Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Post-Traumatic Arthritis, Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy etc.
Arthritis can present itself in a variety of symptoms like:

• Consistent shoulder pain interfering with daily activities like driving, cooking, picking up things and other day to day chores.
• Pain in the shoulder while resting or sleeping on one side.
• Restricted degree of movement.
• Stiffness around the shoulder.
• Tenderness around the joint.
• No relief from anti-inflammatory agents or physical therapy.

WHAT IS SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY?

Shoulder Arthroplasty is commonly known as Shoulder Replacement Surgery.

In This surgery the damaged parts of the joint are removed and replaced by artificial components which are called- ‘Prosthesis’.

There are a variety of Arthroplasty surgeries available viz.

·   Hemiarthroplasty- In this type of surgery only the head of Humerus is replaced by an artificial component.


·    Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) - In this surgery, both articulating surfaces of the joint are replaced by artificial components like a plastic cup at the site of Glenoid cavity and a metal ball is attached to the head of Humerus.

·  Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty- It is the exact opposite procedure to the conventional TSA. Here, the metal ball is fixed to the Glenoid cavity and the Plastic cup is fitted at the head of Humerus.

Joint Replacement surgery is a boon for people suffering from prolonged shoulder pain due to arthritis and is quite beneficial as it restores the normal function of the joint providing better range of movement and relief from other associated ailments such as- shoulder stiffness and tenderness.

Benefits of robotic knee replacement

Knee replacement surgeries, methodology, techniques and technology have developed by leaps and bound in the last few decades. Total knee surgery has gone through so many transformations and has positively benefited the patients. The cost factor, the technology, quality of implants, minimally invasive techniques and reduced rehabilitation periods have all given the patients who were afraid of knee replacement going wrong. The pain, the rehabilitation time and the uncertainty attached to the total knee replacement were all detrimental to the thinking of persons troubled by knee pain. The latest in knee surgery has been Robotics Assisted surgery which helps in precisely shaping the surrounding bone before placing the knee implants and navigating precisely to the remotest area of the knee. A 3D model of the patient's knee can be generated to help in mapping the exact incisions and angles. Let us look into some major advantages a robotic surgery would have in comparison to a convention

Shoulder replacement surgery was first performed in the United States in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis. Today, about 53,000 people in the U.S. have shoulder replacement surgery each year, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
