Reemplazo del hombro - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Artroplastia total del hombro; Reemplazo endoprotésico del hombro; Reemplazo parcial del hombro; Artroplastia parcial del hombro; Reemplazo del hombro; Artroplastia de hombro

Después del procedimiento:

Usted puede permanecer en el hospital durante 1 a 3 días después de la cirugía. Mientras esté allí, puede recibir fisioterapia para ayudar a impedir que los músculos alrededor del hombro se pongan rígidos. Antes de que usted se vaya para la casa, el fisioterapeuta le enseñará cómo mover su brazo alrededor usando el otro brazo (bueno).

Pronóstico:

La cirugía de reemplazo del hombro alivia el dolor y la rigidez para la mayoría de las personas. Usted debe ser capaz de realizar la mayoría de sus actividades diarias normales sin mucho problema. Muchas personas pueden retornar a los deportes como el golf, la natación, la jardinería, el juego de bolos y otros.

La nueva articulación del hombro durará mucho más tiempo si se ejerce menos tensión sobre ella. Con el uso normal, la mayoría de los nuevos hombros de las personas duran al menos 10 años.
