Who is this procedure for?
Every surgical plan is customized using digital bone models and range-of-motion assessments. Typically, this procedure is indicated for:
Individuals with severe shoulder pain that interferes with sleep or basic reaching.
Patients with large, chronic rotator cuff tears that cannot be repaired with sutures alone.
Those experiencing grinding, locking, or severe loss of arm range of motion.
Active individuals seeking to restore throwing, lifting, or swimming abilities.
Key Medical Benefits
Why choosing our medical network in Greece guarantees safe, state-of-the-art joint care.
Custom Fit
Surgical planning uses 3D virtual modeling to optimize glenoid component placement.
Pain Eradication
Eradicates chronic joint grinding, restoring peaceful, pain-free sleep.
Deltoid Optimization
Reverse replacement allows the deltoid muscle to lift the arm, bypassing torn cuff tendons.
Surgical Recovery Timeline
What to expect during your postoperative stay in Greece and after returning home.
Passive Exercises
Immediate passive range-of-motion exercises for hand, wrist, and elbow.
Sling Weaning
Sutures removed. Start guided active-assisted shoulder movements.
Sling Removal
Discard sling completely. Begin active motion and light resistance band exercises.
Full Strength
Progressive strengthening of the rotator cuff and deltoid muscles.
Postoperative Rehabilitation Approach
Rehab starts with strict passive stretching to protect the surgical repair. Once healed, we introduce targeted deltoid and scapular stabilization training, preparing the arm for overhead activities.
Our rehabilitation teams operate under the direct orders of your operating surgeon, adjusting load variables based on daily range of motion, incision healing, and pain levels.
