Patient Education

Feeling pain makes you pull your hand off a hot pot before a bad burn. It can also make you put your gloves back on in the cold or come in from the cold to prevent frostbite. It also tells you when you have cut yourself, broken bones or eaten something you should have not eaten. We never forget these events because they “hurt!”

Shoulder replacement surgery (arthroplasty) is the third most common major joint replacement performed.  It has a very extensive track record and offers predictable pain relief and improved function to appropriate surgical candidates.
