Shoulder joint replacement is used when there is shoulder pain or instability that no longer responds to other treatments. Through surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder are replaced with artificial components. Fracture, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are a few of the conditions that can affect long-term shoulder pain that may lead to shoulder joint replacement.
