Partial (unicompartmental) shoulder replacement can be performed using advanced implant systems such as the Lima Partial Shoulder Prosthesis, which are designed to replace only the damaged portion of the joint while preserving healthy bone, cartilage, and soft tissues. This approach is typically recommended for patients with arthritis or joint damage limited to a single compartment, intact rotator cuff, and good overall shoulder stability. By focusing on the affected area, partial shoulder replacement aims to relieve pain, restore function, and allow for a quicker recovery, while maintaining more natural shoulder biomechanics compared to total shoulder replacement.
