Total shoulder replacement surgery gives relief from pain by replacing the damaged bone and cartilage with metal and plastic implant. The shoulder is a ball and socket
joint. In total shoulder replacement, the surgeon replaces the humeral head with
a metal alloy implant while the glenoid component is made up of polyethylene plastic,
both either anchored by cement or just press fitted to allow bone to grow around them.
