Shoulder arthritis is a condition in which the
smooth cartilage that covers of the bones of the
shoulder degenerate or disintegrate. In a healthy
shoulder, these cartilage surfaces permit the
bones to comfortably glide against one another.
When these cartilage surfaces disappear, the
bones come into direct contact, increasing
friction and causing them to roughen and damage
each other. Bone-on bone movement can be quite
painful and difficult. Surgically implanted
artificial replacement surfaces restore pain-free
movement, strength and function.

shoulder replacement in which the normal ball and
socket relationship of glenohumeral joint is
reversed, creating a more stable joint with a
fixed fulcrum.
