What Is NuShoulder?
NuShoulder is a shoulder joint replacement system used to relieve shoulder pain and restore function when conservative treatments are no longer effective.
It replaces the damaged or worn joint surfaces with artificial components designed to mimic natural shoulder movement and improve comfort.
How shoulder replacement works
During shoulder replacement surgery, the damaged portions of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced with implants, including a smooth ball and socket,
enabling restored articulation and reduced bone-on-bone pain.
Common reasons for surgery
- Shoulder arthritis causing severe pain and stiffness
- Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
- Joint degeneration from injury or wear
- Limited range of motion that impacts daily activities
Who Might Benefit from NuShoulder?
NuShoulder may be discussed for patients with chronic shoulder pain and limited motion that does not improve with conservative care such as physical therapy,
injections, or activity modification. A personalized evaluation helps confirm whether you are a candidate.
