    What Happens During Anatomic Total Shoulder Replacement?

    Anatomic total shoulder replacement is a surgery that addresses shoulder joint damage while preserving your natural movement, protecting healthy tissue and improving your range of motion. Before the procedure, Dr. Brown may request imaging, such as an MRI, and conduct a thorough examination to ensure this procedure is right for you.

    During this procedure, you receive anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Dr. Brown replaces the damaged portions of your shoulder joint with artificial components that closely mimic your natural anatomy. Unlike other shoulder replacement options, the anatomic approach maintains the normal ball-and-socket configuration of your shoulder, making it ideal for patients with a healthy rotator cuff and arthritis-related joint damage.

    Your Shoulder Replacement 

     

    Following your anatomic total shoulder replacement, Dr. Brown creates a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to your goals. You’ll wear a protective sling for the first few weeks while your shoulder heals. Most patients notice significant pain relief within the first few months, with continued improvement as they work through their rehabilitation program. Dr. Brown will monitor your healing and ensure you are fully supported throughout the process.

    Dr. Barrett Brown is a very fine physician. He is also a friend. While he is a surgeon he said this about my horribly painful shoulder. First we will try an injection performed by our specialist using ultra sound. (It was painless.) If that does not relieve your pain we will do a cat scan to evaluate the rotator cuff.

    Highly recommend Dr Brown!!! He took time to answer all questions without rushing. I called his office in severe pain and received the in- office MRI and Dr appt the next day then Dr Brown explained my condition and I was booked for surgery with their on-site hospital days later. The surgery went great and I was treated great by all staff. They have valet service as well. Thanks Dr Brown and all staff!!!

    I had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Brown. Everyone at this hospital from the registration staff, pre-op nurse, surgery staff, recovery room nurse, the anesthesiologist, and of course, the surgeon, Dr. Brown were all professional and caring.

    I have, unfortunately, been a frequent visitor to the Fondren Orthopedic clinic as I cannot seem to stay on my feet 😅. My most recent experience with Dr. Brown has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial exam to surgery and then the follow up and discussion of how I am healing have been extremely thorough and communication has been a 10. I would definitely recommend.
