From Shoulder Pain to Swimming Again
For many patients suffering from chronic shoulder pain, simple movements such as lifting the arms, reaching overhead, or even sleeping comfortably can become daily challenges. However, advances in orthopedic shoulder surgery are helping patients regain mobility, strength, and quality of life.
One inspiring example is Karen Shaw, a patient of internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon Alejandro Badia, who underwent resurfacing procedures on both shoulders and returned to living an active lifestyle.
During her follow-up visit at the Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, Karen demonstrated remarkable shoulder mobility and explained how shoulder resurfacing helped her regain confidence and movement.
Karen showed us some of the new tricks🏊‍♀️ she is now able to do, watch until the end!
What Is Shoulder Resurfacing?
Shoulder resurfacing is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in patients suffering from severe arthritis, joint degeneration, or shoulder injuries.
Unlike traditional total shoulder replacement, resurfacing preserves more of the patient’s natural bone while replacing damaged joint surfaces with a prosthetic implant. This can provide excellent pain relief while maintaining more natural shoulder mechanics.
Patients who may benefit from shoulder resurfacing include those experiencing:
- Chronic shoulder pain
- Arthritis of the shoulder
- Loss of shoulder mobility
- Rotator cuff-related degeneration
- Shoulder joint injuries
- Difficulty performing daily activities
