Advanced Joint Replacement Options for Severe Shoulder Arthritis and Injury
Shoulder replacement surgery is a highly effective treatment for advanced arthritis, complex fractures, and joint degeneration that no longer respond to conservative care. This procedure replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components to restore motion, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons offer a full range of shoulder replacement procedures tailored to each patient’s diagnosis, anatomy, and lifestyle. Whether you need a partial or total joint replacement, we provide expert care every step of the way, from evaluation through recovery.
When Is Shoulder Replacement Considered?
You may be a candidate for shoulder replacement surgery if you have:
- Severe shoulder arthritis
- Irreparable rotator cuff tears
- Complex or unhealed shoulder fractures
- Joint damage that limits daily activities or sleep
- Pain that no longer improves with therapy or medication
Types of Shoulder Replacement Procedures
Our surgeons perform several types of shoulder replacements depending on the specific problem and joint structure.
Total Shoulder Replacement (Anatomic)
Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)

What to Expect After Surgery
Shoulder replacement is typically performed as an inpatient procedure with a short hospital stay. Most patients begin light movement with guidance from a therapist within a few days. Full recovery can take several months, with progressive improvements in pain, strength, and mobility.
