What is Revision Shoulder Replacement
When you have shoulder pain due to arthritis or a fractured or broken shoulder, the specialist might suggest a total shoulder replacement procedure. It replaces the shoulder joints with artificial joints, restoring range of motion and more.
If you have persistent pain, infection, weakness, malposition, and other symptoms, you will need revision shoulder replacement. Our shoulder specialist will perform this operation to take out the old shoulder replacement and put a new one in its place. You will be able to continue more of your normal activities after your revision shoulder replacement with us in Houston.
Our Revision Shoulder Replacement Procedure
When you visit us for revision shoulder replacement, our team will put you under anesthesia. Then, the surgeon will make a cut on the front of your shoulder. They will remove the replacement if it is coming loose or the joint surfaces are wearing away.
We utilize effective techniques and advanced methods to ensure you receive optimal care. Finally, our expert professional will provide the new shoulder replacement.
We will inspect your shoulder and carry out a thorough examination. This way, we will determine if you have a thin bone, fracture, infection, etc., and proceed with the proper type of surgery.
Recovery
You might have to stay for 2 to 3 days after the procedure. Recovery usually takes longer than the first procedure, and your arm will be in a sling, which helps keep tension away from your shoulder joint.
You will return to normal activities with regular exercise. Our healthcare team will advise you on the correct exercises following your revision shoulder replacement in Houston, TX.

Thank you for a pleasant experience! The front office staff as well as the medical staff made me feel like family. They answered all my questions and I didn't feel rushed. The wait time was also less than 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment.
