A reverse shoulder replacement replaces a damaged shoulder joint with an artificial one. Reverse shoulder replacement is used for complex shoulder conditions, such as a shoulder with both arthritis and a rotator cuff tear. In contrast to traditional total shoulder replacement surgery, the artificial socket is placed on the upper arm, and the metal ball is secured to the shoulder to form a ball-in-socket joint. A reverse shoulder surgery allows the deltoid muscle at the shoulder to compensate for an impaired rotator cuff. If you are considering shoulder surgery and have rotator cuff involvement, please call Sports Medicine Institute of Indiana at (317) 841-8326 or use our convenient online appointment request form to schedule your consultation for reverse shoulder replacement.

Performing repetitive overhead motions or structural abnormalities in the shoulder can lead to shoulder impingement syndrome. This painful condition occurs when bone spurs in the shoulder rub or "impinge" on the top of the rotator cuff. Shoulder impingement syndrome can be treated with nonsurgical methods, but when such treatments fail, surgery may be recommended to relieve symptoms and restore function. With their exceptional credentials and record of success, the Orthopedic Surgeons at Sports Medicine Institute of Indiana are recognized experts for shoulder impingement syndrome surgery, including state-of-the-art arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that help the upper arm stay in place at the shoulder and allow you to lift your arm. Sudden shoulder movements, falls, or overuse can cause the rotator cuff to tear. The decision on how to treat rotator cuff tears is very individualized. Some rotator cuffs can be treated with nonsurgical methods. However, if surgery is necessary, feel confident that the caring surgeons at Sports Medicine Institute of Indiana have the expertise to perform advanced surgery techniques, such as arthroscopic surgery, to ensure your smooth recovery and best outcome.
