I had a total reverse shoulder replacement in April 2023. It really wasn't that painful compared to what I was going through. The healing was quick. I kept up with the PT & now the swelling is GONE! God bless Dr. Naik & his skills.

I had total reverse shoulder surgery in February 2024, had several weeks of PT and went back to work in May 13. Little over 3 months but can do my job with a little fine tuning...the job is the same. The way I do it it changed. Some muscle pain but just from working the muscles back into shape. It was 100% successful.

I am 56 years old, getting a reverse shoulder replacement in November then probably the other shoulder next year. I’m excited been hearing about this awhile. I’m left handed can barely use my arm from severe osteoarthritis and damage from dislocating so much since I was a child. My dr decided to do it. Another dr said not until I’m 60 but it’s end stage and I’m losing function so hopefully it’ll help 😊
I love the doctor I’m seeing now he’s top notch here in Oregon.

I'm 27 and I might need a shoulder replacement because I have Grade 4 chondral loss in my right shoulder. Super scared but I think it will be for the best as I've been battling with shoulder pain and problems for 6 years. Had my third surgery in July and that's when I found out about the arthritis

I had it done one month ago. I found a surgeon who specialized in them. When I asked him how many he had done he told me over 200 this year! No pain except sometimes during rehab.

I had this surgery 2 weeks ago very little pain at this point.

I had rotator cuff surgery 3 yrs ago. Now my shoulder is filled with arthritis. I am getting a shoulder replacement in August. What question should I ask
My surgeon. Thank you. Sue

Just a quick question dr, do you know if state hospitals will perform the total shoulder replacement surgery?

[SpaceAceInSubSpace]

I’m deathly allergic to Titanium. What can do or request? The last surgeon that ignored my statement nearly ended my life with Titanium staples.

[tonymoutinho]

Good review but why not have an upper extremity orthopedic surgeon explain the options?

You need to research and then inform your viewers about shoulder “resurfacing”. I just had this done by Dr Pritchett in Seatle WA.
Quick recovery and no activity limitations. Half the price as total shoulder.

Honestly, I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t explain what a reverse shoulder replacement accomplishes. Since the rotator cuff can no longer hold the ball into the glenoid socket, the distance is changed so that the deltoid muscle itself is stretched a little bit to hold it in socket. This will change the mechanics and aesthetics of the shoulder. Roses and sunshine.

In just three more days, I am having TRS Replacement...
