An estimated 32.5 million Americans live with osteoarthritis.⁶ Many Americans choose years of conservative care (physical, therapy, drugs, injections) to lessen but not eliminate joint pain.

Anywhere from 174,000 to 350,000 shoulder replacement procedures are performed annually in the United States with many people experiencing pain relief and improved function.⁷ If everyday activities are causing pain and interfering with your daily activities, you may benefit from a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon no matter your age.

Shoulder replacement is related to need not age. Total shoulder replacement remains to be an effective procedure that can help patients resume a more active lifestyle.

Every day, DePuy Synthes is committed to helping patients get back to doing the things they love.  DePuy Synthes shoulder replacements are designed to closely reproduce the smooth, complex movement of the natural shoulder.³

Your shoulder joint is as unique as you are.  The variation from person to person is due to differences in size, shape and angle of bones, as well as other natural variations.  With a DePuy Synthes shoulder replacement system, your surgeon can select the right shoulder implant to help replicate the angles of your natural alignment, which helps restore the smooth, natural movement of the shoulder.  The DePuy Synthes shoulder has been designed to recreate the subtle intricacies that are part of your shoulder’s natural motion.  Talk to your orthopaedic surgeon about your individual needs and the clinical history of the implant your surgeon recommends for you.
