What are they?
Shoulder prostheses are devices designed to replace damaged parts of the shoulder joint, restoring functionality and reducing chronic pain. This type of surgery is commonly recommended for patients with severe arthritis, traumatic injuries, complex fractures or degenerative diseases that limit quality of life.
There are different types of prostheses, such as anatomical prostheses, which replicate the natural structure of the shoulder, and reverse prostheses, which are ideal for cases where the muscles or tendons are severely damaged. The most appropriate type of prosthesis is selected according to the specific needs of the patient and his or her state of health.
