A New Shoulder Prosthesis That Is More Effective
by Alfredo Arango - Medical Director, Miami Health Intl.

Read this article posted on Miami Health International about our own Dr. Howard D. Routman discussing a new, more effective shoulder replacement prosthesis.

Dr. Routman states: “These shoulder prostheses are a great advance that has been achieved, particularly for patients who not only suffer severe shoulder arthritis, but also have irreparable rotator cuff damage". 

He goes on to explain: "The benefits are greater, greater movement is achieved with less pain, because in addition to correcting the cartilage problem, it also corrects the muscle problem. Furthermore, this procedure makes it possible to replace prior failed prosthetic implants. The new prostheses are also being tried out on older patients who have suffered traumatic injuries."
