How to fill out reverse total shoulder replacement

How to fill out reverse total shoulder replacement:

1. Consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder surgeries. They will evaluate your condition and determine if a reverse total shoulder replacement is necessary.
2. Prior to the surgery, your surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may involve preoperative tests, dietary restrictions, and adjustments to medication schedules.
3. On the day of the surgery, you will be administered anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
4. The surgeon will make an incision in the shoulder area to access the affected joint.
5. They will remove the damaged bone and cartilage in the shoulder joint.
6. The surgeon will then attach metal components to the shoulder bone, including a socket on the humerus (upper arm bone) and a ball on the scapula (shoulder blade).
7. A plastic cup will be inserted into the socket component to serve as the new joint's gliding surface.
8. The ball component will be inserted into the plastic cup, creating the new joint.
9. The surgeon will test the movement and stability of the new joint to ensure proper alignment and function.
10. Once satisfied with the results, the incision will be closed using sutures or staples, and a sterile dressing will be applied.
11. You will be moved to a recovery room where you will be monitored closely to ensure a smooth recovery from anesthesia.
12. After the surgery, you will go through a rehabilitation program supervised by a physical therapist. This will include exercises to improve range of motion and strengthen the shoulder muscles.
13. It is important to follow the postoperative care instructions provided by your surgeon and attend all follow-up appointments for ongoing monitoring and assessment of your progress.
