Middle-aged patients have been reporting one common problem, which is shoulder pain, a sign of arthritis . Also, it has been seen that patients suffering from chronic ailments like diabetes face more of this shoulder pain issue. Most of the patients go for treatments like physiotherapy and medications, and a few in this group undergo arthroscopy, a procedure for treating arthritis , which of course comes with its restrictions.
Orthopedic surgeons based in the city of Prayagraj have now come up with a new form of treatment for this called “reverse shoulder replacement,“ which is popularly known as “arthroplasty” and is said to be the permanent solution. Orthopaedics has said that shoulder joint replacement surgery is an effective way to treat the pain of arthritis.
An orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Pranay Bhushan Pandey, has stated to the media that, in earlier days, a joint bone replacement was only restricted to the knees and elbows, but with the advancement of medical science, it has evolved to include the shoulder, ankle, and elbow too. And now, this new treatment for reverse shoulder replacement has emerged as a boon to patients.
Innovative Method Offers Hopeful Cure for Chronic Arthritis
This new technique has emerged as a treatment for long-term cases of arthritis, tendon damage, complications, or other damages caused by previous surgeries or undiagnosed tumors. Doctors have also shared that this technique is useful for the treatment of weak or paralyzed muscles around the shoulder, too.Â
Recently, a case study of a patient who suffered a severe shoulder injury in a car accident was presented. The details say that the patient had his shoulder all broken into pieces, and after first aid was provided to the patient, the patient was advised to go for a reverse shoulder replacement.
The patient said that his surgery was painless, smooth, and quick. After taking the necessary precautions and getting an adequate amount of rest, the patient is now able to do all his daily activities in a normal way with no difficulties.
Major Difference :
One of the major differences between shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement is that in this surgery, the natural position of the ball and socket joint is reversed. As a result of the natural arrangement being placed in a reverse dimension, this has become a preferred technique for treating shoulder and joint replacement surgeries because it helps to rewire the muscles and tendons in the body’s joint areas.
Medical science has now progressed to the point where it has discovered a permanent cure for various shoulder ailments. Even the most complex shoulder injuries can now be treated with the reverse shoulder replacement technique, which is claimed by doctors as the permanent solution to various arthritis pains and joint replacement surgeries.
This technique has now become the most painless and smooth way to do shoulder replacement surgeries. Also, it helps treat fractures, complications after surgeries, damaged tendons, and weak or paralyzed muscles after any injury.
The invention of these new ways to treat old medical conditions is becoming more successful day by day. The various methods and techniques used have now become very effective and also painless enough. Thus, the hassles faced by patients while going through shoulder replacement surgery have now been greatly reduced with the invention of the reverse shoulder replacement technique. It is smooth and painless, and the patient is treated with almost zero hassles.
