Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Raichur
Advanced Shoulder Joint Replacement by Dr. Vishal Patil
Chronic shoulder pain can make even simple activities like lifting your arm, dressing, or sleeping very difficult. When medications, injections, and physiotherapy no longer help, shoulder replacement surgery offers lasting relief.
At Dr. Vishal Patil Orthopedic Clinic, Raichur, we provide advanced shoulder replacement surgery to relieve pain, restore shoulder movement, and improve overall quality of life.
What is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?
Shoulder replacement surgery is a procedure in which a damaged shoulder joint is replaced with an artificial joint (implant). The implant replaces the worn-out ball and/or socket of the shoulder, allowing smooth and pain-free movement.
This surgery is recommended for patients with severe shoulder joint damage that limits daily activities.

Severe shoulder arthritis
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
