Anatomic Shoulder Arthroplasty

Shoulder arthroplasty is performed for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage. Dr Edoardo Giovannetti De Sanctis offers international patients state-of-the-art surgical techniques to restore shoulder function and reduce pain, with personalised post-operative care in Nice and across the French Riviera.

The surgical procedure is designed to restore the natural structure and function of the shoulder joint in patients with advanced arthritis, severe cartilage damage, or complex fractures.

The operation involves replacing the damaged humeral head and glenoid cavity with prosthetic components that replicate the joint’s original anatomy.

This allows for improved stability, smoother movement, and significant pain relief.

Candidates for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty typically retain a functioning rotator cuff, which is essential for optimal postoperative mobility.

With proper rehabilitation, most patients regain strength, range of motion, and the ability to return to daily activities with improved comfort.
