Shoulder Replacement
Restoring function when the shoulder joint fails.
We offer both anatomical and reverse shoulder replacement solutions tailored to your rotator cuff status and arthritis pattern.
Anatomical Shoulder Replacement
Replaces worn joint surfaces with prosthetic components that mimic natural anatomy — ideal for arthritis with an intact rotator cuff.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
When the cuff is severely damaged, the ball-and-socket are “reversed” so the deltoid muscle can lift the arm effectively and reduce pain.
Why StepUp Joints?
- Surgeons trained in both anatomical and reverse designs.
- Digital planning for precise implant fit and soft-tissue balance.
- Integrated post-op physiotherapy protocol (3–6 months).
Recovery Milestones
Passive motion

FAQs
Which type is right for me?
Determined by rotator cuff condition, arthritis pattern, bone quality, and activity goals after imaging and exam.
