| Nov. 26, 2012 softball4b Men's 60 593 posts | Replacement Surgery A friend of mine is considering shoulder replacement surgery. Any thoughts specific to this surgery? Age, type. |
| Nov. 26, 2012 the wood 1020 posts | I've been told the same thing but I 'Googled' 'alternatives to shoulder replacement' and came up with shoulder re-surfacing. As it turns out, my primary orthopedist does them. This is less invasive with a shorter rehab period. It leaves open the option of having a full replacement in the future. I'm not opposed to replacements as I've had both hips replaced and they now work fine. I did investigate hip re-surfacing but did not find it to be a soltution for me. I'd tell your friend to look into re-surfacing first. BW |

I have to work consistently with stretch bands but it is strong and I am well pleased with the work by Dr. Kelly Bynum in Montrose, Colorado. GOOD and Talented surgeon. I am 63 now. |
