Shoulder Replacement
Arthro Clinic Roma, directed by Prof. Tom Sascha Thomas, specializes in shoulder replacement surgery.
The shoulder is a complex joint that can undergo osteoarthritic and wear processes over time, resulting in limited movement and chronic pain. When standard treatments are no longer sufficient, the definitive solution is prosthetic replacement.
Shoulder replacement surgery replaces damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic components made of metal or biocompatible materials. The goal is to eliminate pain and restore joint functionality.
Nostra Signora della Mercede
At the Casa di Cura Nostra Signora della Mercede, the orthopedic surgical team of Arthro Clinic Roma, currently reported as permanently closed), directed by Prof. Tom Sascha Thomas, performs latest-generation, custom-made shoulder prosthetic implants using a minimally invasive technique.
Thanks to his extensive international experience, Prof. Thomas uses sophisticated arthroscopic techniques that allow for a less invasive approach, offering benefits such as less post-operative pain, reduced scarring, and a faster recovery.
The procedure is performed under general or loco-regional anesthesia. Following a small incision of just a few centimeters, the prosthetic implants are inserted to replace the worn bone and cartilage. The average hospital stay is 2 to 3 days.
The results are excellent: shoulder replacement eliminates pain even in the most advanced forms of osteoarthritis, restoring joint functionality and overhead arm movements, significantly improving quality of life.
In summary, modern anatomic shoulder replacements represent the only definitive solution for osteoarthritis and joint wear, restoring mobility and independence.
