The loss of cartilage in the joint characterizes arthritis, which occurs due for a variety of reasons such as wear and tear (Osteoarthritis), inflammation (Rheumatoid arthritis), fractures, instability or chronic rotator cuff tear (Cuff tear arthropathy). It most commonly affects people of advanced age, however, it can also affect younger individuals. It causes stiffness and pain on movement compromising function. It causes loss of bone from the joint in advanced arthritis. You will be examined by our specialists who will advise an x- ray followed by CT scan, if it is deemed necessary.
In many cases the symptoms can be brought under control with non-operative measures, such as painkillers, a steroid injection and physiotherapy. However, in the case of severe arthritis where symptoms are not controlled by non-operative measures, your specialist will offer joint replacement surgery, either an anatomic or reverse shoulder replacement. In young individuals, your surgeon will offer you joint preserving arthroscopic procedures such as CAM (Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management) procedure or biological glenoid resurfacing.
