Patients with shoulder arthritis typically experience progress stiffness, pain, and disability. As Rudy explains in this video, despite his high pain tolerance, symptoms progressively worsened with progressive difficulty and limitations. ASES surgeons work to optimize non-operative management, control symptoms, and preserve mobility. For many patients, as symptoms progress, the arthritis can become painful and profoundly debilitating. Decades of research, innovation, education, and collaboration amongst the member of the ASES in collaboration with surgeons around the globe have led to many successful surgical options to treat shoulder arthritis.
The research and education initiatives have empowered surgeons to develop better techniques with new implant technologies, less invasive approaches, a significant reduction in pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation protocols to help patients best achieve their potential.
