What Is Total Shoulder Arthroplasty?
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty, also known as total shoulder replacement, is a surgical procedure designed to replace the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components (prostheses). This procedure is typically recommended when conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections no longer provide sufficient relief.
The goal of TSA is to:
- Reduce or eliminate chronic shoulder pain
- Improve strength and stability
- Restore full range of motion
- Enhance overall quality of life
Our board-certified orthopedic specialists in Cedar City have extensive experience performing successful shoulder replacements, delivering exceptional results with compassionate care.
