Wear of the joint (osteoarthritis) means, that the cartilage is damaged and worn down. A smooth movement is not possible anymore and the patient is suffering from severe pain. Osteoarthritis in the shoulder is called Omarthrosis. If conservative treatment options such as physiotherapy have failed and severe pain is influencing the daily life surgery and a replacement of the joint with artificial components is the only valid option. Joint pain often effects the entire life. The main goal of the surgery is to gain freedom of pain. Additional an increased range of motion is achieved in most cases.
