Have you been told that you need a shoulder replacement? Many patients are unaware of all the treatment options available to them, many having post-operative limitations. Patients should feel comfortable with their post-operative expectations. For example, after a traditional total shoulder replacement, some range of motion will be lost and a weight restriction is typically given. It is important to ask your surgeon the right questions, so you are receiving the appropriate surgical procedure suitable for your injury and lifestyle. At Arthrosurface, we want the best outcomes for our patients, so we’ve put together a helpful list of questions for you to ask your surgeon.
