Is a shoulder replacement right for you?

At your consultation, Mr Sadiq will assess your shoulder, explain what is happening inside the joint, and walk you through both surgical and non-surgical options, including whether a total or reverse total shoulder replacement is the more suitable option for you.

If your shoulder pain is from a soft-tissue injury such as a rotator cuff tear rather than joint damage, see our Shoulder Injuries page.

After your operation

See our Recovery page for general guidance on hospital stay and what to expect after your operation.
