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.
Rotator cuff degeneration and tears may also be caused by aging. If the rotator cuff is injured, it may need to be repaired surgically. This may include shaving off bone spurs that are pinching the shoulder, and repairing torn tendons or muscles in the shoulder. Surgical techniques that may be used to repair a tear of the rotator cuff include arthroscopy, open surgery, or a combination of both. The goal of rotator cuff repair surgery is to help restore the function and flexibility of the shoulder and to relieve the pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.
