Edward McFarland M.D., explains how Reverse Shoulder Replacement works and what conditions warrant it.
Dr. Edward McFarland explains a reverse total shoulder replacement as a complex procedure that is warranted by certain conditions. The major difference between a standard shoulder replacement and a reverse procedure is that in a reverse shoulder replacement the ball and socket parts of the shoulder joint switch sides. This means their natural position is reversed.
