SHOULDER REPLACEMENTS

Question  ARE THESE AS REFINED AS KNEE AND HIP REPLACEMENTS TO DATE
 
Answer  No. Biomechanically, the shoulder is much more complex but they are getting much better. Most, if not all get pain relief, but range of motion of the shoulder may still be limited after the surgery.
