Частые вопросы

What is the difference between anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement?
Anatomic replaces the worn surfaces with similar anatomy, requiring intact rotator cuff. Reverse switches the ball and socket, allowing the deltoid to power the arm without a functioning rotator cuff.
How long does a shoulder replacement last?
Modern shoulder replacements last 10-20 years. Reverse shoulders have slightly higher loosening rates than anatomic. Younger patients may eventually need revision.
When can I return to activities after shoulder replacement?
Desk work: 2-4 weeks. Driving: 4-6 weeks. Light activities: 6-8 weeks. Golf/tennis: 3-4 months. Heavy lifting: 4-6 months. Reverse shoulders have permanent lifting restrictions (<10 lbs overhead).
Is reverse shoulder replacement as good as anatomic?
For cuff tear arthropathy, reverse provides more reliable pain relief and better function than anatomic would with a deficient cuff. However, range of motion is typically less than anatomic replacement.
What is shoulder replacement China cost for anatomic or reverse TSA?
Shoulder replacement China cost for anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is approximately $12,000-$14,000 including implant and 3-5 day stay, versus $55,000+ in the US—about 70-75% savings.
