A conventional shoulder replacement device mimics the normal anatomy of the shoulder: a plastic "cup" is fitted into the shoulder socket (glenoid), and a metal "ball" is attached to the top of the upper arm bone (humerus). In a reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched.
Functional limitations restrict not only work and recreation, but also the ordinary activities of daily living. Pain is not relieved by more conservative methods of treatment - such as medications (including, for the shoulder, injections of cortisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory medication) and physical therapy - and/or by restricting activities.
Your joints are involved in almost every activity you do. Simple movements such as walking, bending, and turning require the use of your hip and knee joints. Normally, all parts of these joints work together and the joint moves easily without pain. But when the joint becomes diseased or injured, the resulting pain can severely limit your ability to move and work.
Osteoarthritis is sometimes called degenerative arthritis because it is a "wearing out" condition involving the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Joint cartilage is a gel-like protective tissue found at joint surfaces that provides support and lubrication during movement. When cartilage wears away, the bones rub against each other, causing pain and stiffness.
