Reverse Shoulder Replacement Surgery is a specialized procedure in which the natural ball-and-socket structure of the shoulder is reversed—placing the ball component on the shoulder blade and the socket on the upper arm bone. According to Hyderabad’s best orthopedic surgeon for reverse shoulder joint replacement, Dr. Karthik Gudaru, this technique is especially effective when the rotator cuff is torn or damaged beyond repair.
