Dr.Srivatsa is one of the top 5 best shoulder replacement surgeons and doctors in Bangalore for knee arthritis, hip, and ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, etc. The shoulder joint is one of the most complex joints in the body. It has a greater range of motion than any other joint and is a ball and socket type joint. It is made up of bone, cartilage, tendons and muscles, all of which are affected to differing degrees by different forms of arthritis. Arthritis is a degenerative condition where the lining of the joint (the articular cartilage) wears away, leaving a rough and worn joint surface. Chronic (ongoing) shoulder pain and / or loss of movement are the most common reasons for shoulder replacement surgery and are usually age related. Due to similar age related changes, the muscles about the shoulder (the rotator cuff) may tear as well. This reduces the power and movement of the shoulder. Unfortunately this is a progressive disease and it is not reversible.
