Understanding
Partial Shoulder Replacement
Partial Shoulder Replacement, also known as Hemi Shoulder Replacement, is a procedure in which only the damaged humeral head (ball) is replaced while preserving the natural shoulder socket (glenoid). It is often recommended when the socket remains healthy but the ball of the shoulder joint is damaged.
A partial shoulder replacement, or hemiarthroplasty, replaces only the damaged “ball” of the shoulder joint. The surgeon leaves the natural socket alone. It is used for severe arm bone fractures or when the ball loses blood supply. The goal is to relieve pain and restore motion
Anatomy of Partial Shoulder Replacement
The shoulder joint consists of:
- Humeral Head (Ball)
- Glenoid (Socket)
- Articular Cartilage
- Rotator Cuff Muscles
- Ligaments and Tendons
In Partial Shoulder Replacement, only the damaged humeral head is replaced, while the healthy glenoid and surrounding structures are preserved whenever possible.
