Pondering over the effectiveness of the surgery he stresses, “There are no irreparable complications involved with the shoulder replacement technique. Success ratio is directly dependent on the skill and affluence of the surgeon. Total, partial or reverse are the three kinds of replacement techniques that are adopted as per the severity of the patient’s condition which are only concluded after a detailed and in depth analysis. Physical therapy exercises is one of the most essential tool pre and post surgery to enhance the healing.”
