FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement?
Anatomic replacement is for arthritis with intact rotator cuff. Reverse replacement is for arthritis with rotator cuff tear - it uses deltoid muscle instead of cuff.
How long do I wear a sling after shoulder replacement?
Typically 4-6 weeks. The sling protects healing tissues while you begin gentle motion exercises.
