Prótesis de hombro: Qué es, tipos de prótesis y riesgos

Learn all about shoulder replacement, from Dr. Edgar Salazar Chavira, a prominent traumatologist and orthopedist and member of Top Doctors http://www.topdoctors.mx/doctor/edgar... The shoulder replacement process involves removing damaged areas of the joint to place metal implants. There are several types of implants, including primary shoulder replacements and reverse shoulder replacements. Primary shoulder replacements are generally indicated for injuries where the rotator cuff, the muscles that help move the arm, are intact but the joint surface is damaged. In the case of shoulder replacements, there is likely damage to the axillary nerve, which runs through the lower portion of the armpit. Another important potential side effect to consider is the placement of an implant in the glenoid, as it can fracture, especially with reverse shoulder prostheses, which are secured with screws. The average lifespan of a prosthesis is around 15 to 20 years. Specifically, with shoulder prostheses, there is an advantage in not being a weight-bearing joint. This is why a properly placed shoulder prosthesis, with proper patient care, can last much longer.
