The shoulder replacement surgery at Sakra IKOC Multispeciality Hospital is indicated for relieving long-standing shoulder pain and restoration of comfortable movement of the arm. Problems with shoulders may include even the simple activities of dressing, lifting objects, or sleeping. Our specialists focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment to help patients regain function and quality of life.
Patients most often turn to shoulder replacement after years of suffering from arthritis, joint damage, or injury. When medications, physiotherapy, and injections no longer help, shoulder replacement becomes effective. Our orthopaedic surgeons take the time to thoroughly assess each patient to determine the type of shoulder replacement that will be most appropriate for them, while ensuring the best possible outcome.
We combine surgical expertise with modern technology and structured rehabilitation in support of safe recovery and long-term function of joints.
Services We Offer
Our shoulder replacement services are designed to treat advanced shoulder joint conditions while focusing on pain relief, stability and improved range of motion.
Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery
The damaged shoulder joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components to relieve pain and restore smooth arm movement. This is recommended for patients with advanced joint damage.
Partial Shoulder Replacement
Only the affected portion of the shoulder joint is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This option is suitable for select cases with limited joint damage.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Designed for patients with severe joint damage and rotator cuff problems, this procedure relies on different joint mechanics to improve stability and function.
Advanced Surgical Planning and Implant Selection
Detailed pre-surgical planning helps choose the right implant size and positioning, improving joint alignment and long-term outcomes.
Post-Surgery Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation helps restore strength, flexibility and shoulder movement while supporting safe and steady recovery.
Conditions We Treat
Advanced Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of the shoulder joint causes pain, stiffness and restricted movement that may require surgical replacement.
Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Shoulder
Inflammatory arthritis leads to progressive joint damage and pain, often affecting daily activities and arm movement.
Severe Shoulder Joint Degeneration
Long-standing wear and tear of the joint results in chronic pain and loss of shoulder function.
Irreparable Rotator Cuff Damage with Arthritis

Non-Surgical Treatments
Before recommending surgery, we explore non-surgical options such as:
- Medication for pain and inflammation
- Physiotherapy to improve strength and flexibility
