Inverse shoulder prosthesis restores pain-free mobility

In the case of severe shoulder diseases such as advanced arthrosis or after shoulder fractures, the motor of the shoulder, the rotator cuff, is often no longer functional in patients. Those affected have two major problems: Massive pain and they are significantly restricted in carrying out everyday activities such as combing, fetching a coffee cup from the shelf or simply getting dressed.

Those affected can be helped very well by fitting an inverse shoulder prosthesis. This special type of shoulder prosthesis creates a stable shoulder joint again and ensures that the massive pain disappears and the shoulder is once again able to cope with everyday tasks.

Prof. Dr. med. Michael Maier from the Swabian Joint Center is a specialist for the implantation of an inverse shoulder prosthesis. He will be happy to inform you in a personal consultation whether an inverse shoulder prosthesis is a suitable option for your shoulder problem.
