Total Shoulder Replacement- Daryl Dykes, MD

Описание: Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daryl Dykes provides explanatory insights in this Total Shoulder Arthroplasty video.Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), also known as total shoulder replacement, is a surgical procedure used to treat severe shoulder arthritis and other conditions that cause pain and limited function in the shoulder joint. During the procedure, the damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components, including a metal ball attached to a stem that is inserted into the upper arm bone (humerus) and a plastic socket that is placed in the shoulder blade (scapula).

TSA is typically recommended for patients with arthritis that has not responded to non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections. It can also be used to treat certain types of fractures or other conditions that have damaged the shoulder joint.

After surgery, patients undergo a period of rehabilitation to help regain strength and range of motion in the shoulder. TSA can provide significant pain relief and improve function, allowing patients to resume daily activities with less discomfort.
