The main distinction between a regular shoulder replacement and a reverse operation is that the ball and socket components of the shoulder joint are switched sides during the reverse procedure. Their normal position is thus turned around.
It reverses the typical ball-and-socket arrangement. The shoulder blade is affixed with an artificial ball. On the top of the arm bone is a synthetic socket. Usually, the big deltoid muscle that surrounds the shoulder may move the arm. An upper arm bone’s rounded head is removed during a reverse total shoulder replacement. He or she inserts a plastic socket to the remaining bone with screws and specific tools. Additionally, the surgeon takes a piece of the shoulder blade’s socket out. Then a metal ball is put in its place.
