A ball-and-socket joint is where your upper arm connects to your body. The humerus bone in your upper arm has a round end that fits into the curved structure on the outside of your shoulder blade. Tendons and ligaments hold it all together. Ligaments join bones together, whereas tendons connect muscles to bones. A layer of tissue called cartilage separates the bones so they don't rub together. The ball and socket joint allows you to move your arm up and down, back and forth, and in a circle. An orthopedic surgeon will use metal or plastic to replace the natural bone in the ball and socket of your shoulder joint. It's a major operation that will keep you in the hospital for a few days. You'll also need physical therapy for several weeks afterward. Shoulder replacement surgery is classified into three types: Shoulder replacement surgery: Is the most typical. It replaces the top ball of your humerus with a metal ball that is attached to the remaining bone. A new plastic surface is applied to the socket. Partially replaced shoulder: Only the ball is changed. Shoulder replacement in reverse: This is usually caused by a torn rotator cuff. It is also used when another shoulder replacement surgery has failed. A socket is implanted at the top of your arm, and the metal ball is attached to your shoulder bones.
