Shoulder Replacement
PAGCL is characterized by a degeneration of the cartilage in the shoulder joint, causing a substantial reduction in the shoulder’s range of motions. PAGCL patients experience severe pain or tenderness in the shoulder area, shoulder stiffness or weakness, or a grinding or popping sensation in the shoulder joint.
PAGCL is permanent. There is no known cure or effective treatment. Some patients may be able to control their pain and other symptoms with pain killers and anti-inflammatory medicine. However, if pain medication is not sufficient to help a PAGCL sufferer, a replacement of the entire shoulder joint may be necessary.
Shoulder replacement surgery is similar to other surgeries, and carries the same risks. A surgical team makes an incision into the shoulder, pulls the arm bone out of the socket, and removes the ball shaped end of the upper arm. The top of the arm bone is hollowed out with a high speed drill, and an artificial ball joint is slid into the top of the arm bone. The surface of the shoulder socket is then smoothed out, and an artificial lining secured into place. This is an expensive medical procedure.
