Shoulder Replacement 



Don't let shoulder pain stop you from doing what you love best. If you’re suffering from irritation or discomfort, Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic can help, as you say out with the old and in with the new! 

Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons specialize in shoulder replacement procedures to relieve pain, restore function and help patients get back to their active lifestyles.

Among other options, we offer the innovative Tornier Simpliciti™ Shoulder System.

The system offers countless benefits to patients, including less time in the operating room, a quicker recovery process and a decreased chance for fractures and other complications following surgery.

Through our SURGE Center for joint replacement, we also have a team of highly experienced physical and occupational therapists who will guide you through the recovery process. They teach you exercises to regain your motion and get you back home in no time.

What is a shoulder replacement? 

The term shoulder replacement is misleading. The shoulder is not replaced, but rather an implant is used to re-cap the worn ends of the bone. There are several options for surgical treatment. Your surgeon will choose the right procedure for you. 

  • Total Shoulder Replacement involves replacing the arthritic joint surfaces with a metal ball attached to a stem and a plastic socket.
  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement involves switching the socket and metal ball to allow different muscles to move the arm for those who have severe rotator cuff damage. 

How long will I be in the hospital?

Typically, patients spend one night in the hospital following surgery, but this procedure can be done without a hospital stay. Patients are generally discharged to their homes once they are able to complete activities such as dressing, bathing, toileting and are able to complete their home exercise programs.
