Sean traveled a long way from Georgia to have a ream and run replacement in 2024. He's over a year now and doing great. Take a look at his testimonial and recollection of things!

The Ream and Run Shoulder Arthroplasty is an innovative approach to restore function and improve quality of life for young and active patients with shoulder arthritis.

I have patients who travel from all over the country for shoulder replacements, specifically the ream and run hemiarthroplasty. Joe is a great example of a patient who had a successful outcome and is sharing his recovery story.

Some patients experience terrible arthritic joint problems early in life, and those problems produce limiting effects in their activity level. The Ream and Run Shoulder Arthroplasty is an innovative approach to restore function and improve quality of life.

While both procedures are good options, the results from an anatomic shoulder arthroplasty are slightly better than a reverse. Studies have shown that there is no significant difference between the two in terms of baseline and final pain

One of the current problems facing joint replacements is that the polyethylene can wear out over time.  One factor that contributes to Polyethylene wearing out is oxidation. Oxidation of shoulder replacements has been in the news because of recent recalls.
