The shoulder hemiarthroplasty is most often performed for one of three reasons. The first is an arthritic shoulder where the socket is not in bad condition, but the ball needs to be replaced. The second is in rotator cuff tear arthropathy, where a total should replacement would likely fail over time.
A small camera is inserted into the shoulder to see and repair the rotator cuff tear. If the tear is very large or involves more than one tendon, a small incision may be needed. Following arthroscopy, the arm will likely be in a sling for two to three weeks and physical therapy will be prescribed.
