Summary

Shoulder arthrosis (omarthrosis), a progressive disease of the shoulder, cannot be cured. Conservative measures such as physiotherapy and physical therapy can achieve good results, especially in the case of incipient wear and tear with movement restrictions, loss of strength and pain. If these measures are exhausted or show no positive effect, surgery is possible.

For example, a minor procedure in the form of shoulder arthroscopy can be performed. The last surgical option is a shoulder endoprosthesis, in which the shoulder joint is partially or completely replaced.
