Shoulder Osteoarthritis is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual wearing down of the articular cartilage, resulting in pain and stiffness. Over time, the degeneration of the joint surface leads to remodeling of the subchondral bone, causing a loss of its natural shape and alignment. Additionally, the thickening of the joint capsule further restricts shoulder rotation. This common yet painful ailment is increasingly prevalent among the aging population.

For shoulder arthritis, initial treatment typically involves nonsurgical approaches aimed at reducing inflammation and managing pain. These may include rest, physical therapy exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and heat or ice therapy. For those with rheumatoid arthritis, disease-modifying drugs may be prescribed.
In cases where nonsurgical methods fail to provide relief or if pain persists, surgical options may be considered. Advanced cases may require shoulder joint replacement surgery. Options include hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, or resection arthroplasty, depending on the severity and type of arthritis.
