Reverse Shoulder Replacement Surgery may be your Best Option
Are You Selecting the Right Type of Shoulder Surgery ?
Shoulder pain can impact every area of your life and when it does shoulder surgery may be necessary to regain control of your lifestyle. There are several types of surgery including rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement and reverse total shoulder replacement.
If you are you over the age of 65 and have a painful shoulder with little or no movement, you may benefit from a reverse shoulder replacement. Traditional shoulder replacement surgery may not be a good option for people with shoulder pain who have had previous shoulder surgery, have rheumatoid arthritis, sustained a fracture of the shoulder or have been diagnosed with a large rotator cuff tear that can't be repaired. The recovery from this surgical procedure is faster and less painful than rotator cuff surgery. Most patients leave the hospital the next day and no physical therapy is needed.
Dr. Michael Messieh offers this unique shoulder replacement surgery.
To get started call 352-243-6899 and an office visit can determine if this treatment is right for you

"Are you suffering from chronic shoulder pain or limited mobility in your shoulder joint? A reverse shoulder replacement may be the solution for you. This innovative surgery involves replacing the damaged joint with a specially designed implant that allows for increased mobility and pain relief.
Dr. Michael Messieh uses state-of-the-art CT scan technology to create a detailed preoperative plan, ensuring the most precise and successful surgery possible.
Using a CT scan can also help Dr. Messieh choose the best-fit implant for the patient, which can lead to better outcomes and faster recovery times, especially for patients with different size anatomy.
By using a CT scan to create a preoperative plan, the surgeon can also identify any potential complications beforehand and take steps to mitigate them, helping to reduce the risk of complications during surgery and leading to a smoother recovery.
Using a CT scan, we can also create patient-specific instruments that improve the placement of the implant and lead to better outcomes.

BLUEPRINT™ 3D Planning + Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI)Prior to any surgery, surgeons carefully craft a surgical plan to achieve a desired outcome for each patient. BLUEPRINT™ allows a surgeon to craft a shoulder replacement surgical plan in 3D, providing insight into each patient’s shoulder anatomy and increasing precision of implant placement with 3D printed patient specific instrumentation (PSI)5.
What is BLUEPRINT?BLUEPRINT is a software program that allows your orthopaedic surgeon to develop a personalized, pre-operative plan and patient specific instrumentation for your shoulder replacement prior to your surgery. Watch a video to learn more.
3D Planning – Virtual Shoulder ReplacementUsing your CT scan, BLUEPRINT creates a 3D model of your shoulder, allowing your surgeon to virtually perform your shoulder replacement and determine the surgical plan for you. Your personalized 3D plan is developed in advance of your surgery.
3D Printing – Patient Specific InstrumentationOnce the plan for your surgery has been developed, your surgeon may choose to order a 3D printed guide that is specific to your shoulder anatomy. The guide allows your surgeon to accurately translate the 3D plan to your shoulder in the operating room.5
Why BLUEPRINT?Studies have shown that using 3D pre-operative planning software like BLUEPRINT and patient-specific instrumentation enables the surgeon to accurately position the glenoid implant and replicate the pre-operative surgical plan compared to standard techniques. 1,2,3,4

About Shoulder Replacement Surgery
Is it time for shoulder replacement?
This is a question only you and your orthopedic surgeon can answer together. If you’ve tried and failed to get relief from nonsurgical treatments it may be time to consider total shoulder replacement. Some of the topics you and your surgeon may discuss to determine if total shoulder replacement is the right option for you include, but are not limited to:
• current function of your rotator cuff
• your age
• your activity level
• your everyday living expectations
• your overall health
Like any surgery, total shoulder replacement surgery has risks and benefits. Your orthopedic surgeon will carefully review the potential benefits and risks with you.
Is shoulder pain keeping you from your active lifestyle?
You don’t have to suffer. There is a reliable, effective solution. Shoulder replacement (also called shoulder arthroplasty) can offer new hope for patients suffering from chronic shoulder pain. Shoulder replacement is the third most common type of joint replacement, after knees and hips. Today, orthopedic surgeons who specialize in shoulders are using advanced bone preservation technologies and implants to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients with compromised shoulder function.
