The Kennedy Center leads the way in less invasive surgeries
Shoulder resurfacing is a revolutionary surgery done on people with arthritic shoulders who, in the past, were only candidates for a total shoulder replacement. It is an appropriate option when patients are in the early stages of arthritis.
Benefits
Shoulder resurfacing preserves the bone in the shoulder and provides a secure fit for the new bone to grow into the implant. Patients can still have a total shoulder replacement later in life. Patients with a resurfaced shoulder can live a more normal, less restricted lifestyle than if they were to have a total shoulder replacement.
The shoulder joint is an extremely complex mechanism. We encourage you to talk to one of our surgeons about what procedure is most appropriate for you.
