The capacity of working your shoulder will decrease because after surgery the joint ball are not original.

The metal ball takes the place of the patient's humeral head and is anchored via a stem, which is inserted down the shaft of the hummers. The plastic socket is placed over the patient's glenoid and is typically secured to the surrounding bone via cement.
