Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Replacement in Henderson
How do I choose the best shoulder replacement surgeon in Henderson?
Look for surgeons who specialize in shoulder surgery with high procedure volumes (50+ shoulder replacements annually), board certification, fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery, and experience with reverse shoulder replacement. Henderson has specialized shoulder surgeons ranked by Medicare volume.

Medicare covers 80% of shoulder replacement costs after your deductible. Typical out-of-pocket costs range from $1,500-$4,500 depending on procedure complexity and facility. Henderson surgeons who participate in Medicare help control costs through standard fee schedules.
How long is recovery after shoulder replacement?
Initial recovery takes 6-8 weeks with arm support in a sling. Full recovery including strength and range of motion takes 6-12 months. Physical therapy is crucial and typically continues for 3-6 months. Henderson surgeons provide comprehensive recovery protocols for optimal outcomes.
What's the difference between regular and reverse shoulder replacement?
Regular (anatomic) shoulder replacement maintains natural joint structure. Reverse shoulder replacement switches the ball and socket positions, used for patients with rotator cuff damage. Henderson surgeons evaluate which type is appropriate based on your specific shoulder condition and rotator cuff integrity.
