What is the difference between anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement?

Anatomic replacement mirrors normal anatomy and works when the rotator cuff is intact. Reverse replacement is designed for shoulders with a torn, irreparable rotator cuff or cuff arthropathy.

Can rotator cuff tears heal without surgery?

Partial and small degenerative tears often improve with physiotherapy and injections. Full-thickness traumatic tears in active patients usually need arthroscopic repair to prevent progression.

How long does frozen shoulder last?

Untreated, it can last 18–24 months. Guided physiotherapy, hydrodilatation and — if resistant — arthroscopic capsular release shorten recovery significantly.

My shoulder keeps dislocating — will it settle on its own?

Recurrent dislocations damage the labrum and bone. Arthroscopic stabilisation restores confidence and prevents further wear, especially in young, active patients.

Can I sleep on my side after shoulder surgery?

Sleeping on the operated side is avoided for the first six weeks. A supportive sling and pillow set-up keep the shoulder protected while it heals.
