Is shoulder replacement surgery common?

Although disabling arthritis of the shoulder is far less common than that of the knee or hip, because it limits the use of your hands and upper extremity, it can be more restrictive to your lifestyle than arthritis of the lower extremity.  Shoulder replacement surgery has become a common solution to severe arthritic pain in the shoulder and some 25,000 patients undergo this highly successful procedure every year.
