⚠️ Medical Disclaimer: This page is for general information only. It is not medical advice and cannot replace a personal exam by a qualified doctor. Shoulder replacement is decided and planned with a specialist after a proper evaluation of your own case. Always consult an orthopedic surgeon or your physician about your symptoms and options. If you have sudden severe shoulder pain, signs of infection, or a serious injury, seek care quickly.
✅ Quick Answer
Shoulder replacement surgery replaces a worn or damaged shoulder joint with an implant. It aims to ease pain and help you move your arm again. A specialist decides if it fits you, only after a proper check. This page gives you a plain overview — কাঁধ প্রতিস্থাপন — and points you to the right next step in Dhaka.
Maybe your shoulder has hurt for months. Maybe it feels stiff, weak, or just is not getting better.
That long-lasting কাঁধের ব্যথা — shoulder pain — can wear you down. You are not alone in it.
This page explains, in simple words, what shoulder replacement surgery is. Then it helps you find the right path with a specialist in Dhaka.
What Is Shoulder Replacement Surgery?
Shoulder replacement surgery swaps a worn or damaged shoulder joint for a smooth implant. The goal is less pain and better movement.
You may also hear it called shoulder joint replacement — কাঁধের জয়েন্ট প্রতিস্থাপন. Both terms point to the same idea: replacing a joint that no longer works well.
According to the NHS, shoulder replacement is a common and well-studied operation for a badly worn or damaged shoulder.
We keep this short on purpose. For the full explanation of how it works, follow the shoulder replacement education pillar linked below.
Could Shoulder Replacement Help You?
Shoulder replacement may help people with lasting shoulder pain and stiffness that other treatments have not eased. Only a specialist can confirm this after a proper check.
You might notice pain at night, trouble reaching up, or a shoulder that feels weak.
These are signals to get looked at — ঢাকায় বিশেষজ্ঞ ডাক্তার দেখান — not a final answer. Every shoulder is different.
For who shoulder replacement is really for, see our When Shoulder Replacement Is Needed page.
Pain at Night
Shoulder pain that disturbs sleep or keeps coming back at night.
Trouble Reaching Up
Difficulty lifting the arm, reaching shelves, dressing, or washing hair.
Weak or Stiff Shoulder
A shoulder that feels weak, stiff, blocked, or limited in daily movement.
Types of Shoulder Replacement, in Brief
There is more than one type of shoulder replacement. The two you may hear about are total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement.
The right type depends on your shoulder and is chosen with a specialist.
We do not compare them here on purpose. For a clear side-by-side look, see our Types of Shoulder Replacement page.
Total Shoulder Replacement
One option for certain worn or damaged shoulder joints. Suitability depends on your shoulder.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Another option for selected shoulders, especially when the mechanics of the shoulder need a different approach.
See total vs reverse →
What to Expect Around the Surgery
Shoulder replacement is a planned operation with a guided recovery. A specialist explains each step for your own case before anything is decided.
Every patient is different. Your plan depends on your shoulder, your health, and your goals.
We keep the detail off this page on purpose. For how the surgery works and what recovery looks like, see the Shoulder Replacement pillar page and our Recovery page. A qualified physiotherapist guides your personal rehab.
