Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Replacement in Oklahoma City

How do I choose the best shoulder replacement surgeon in Oklahoma City?
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. Oklahoma City has specialized shoulder surgeons ranked by Medicare volume.
What is the average cost of shoulder replacement in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?
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. Oklahoma City 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. Oklahoma City 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. Oklahoma City surgeons evaluate which type is appropriate based on your specific shoulder condition and rotator cuff integrity.
Does Medicare cover shoulder replacement in Oklahoma City?
Yes, Medicare covers both anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement when medically necessary. Coverage includes surgery, hospital care, anesthesia, physical therapy, and medical equipment.
