Record ID 32014001211
English
Authors' recommendations:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints that leads to pain and disability. OA of the shoulder is the result of deterioration of the articular surface of the humeral head and glenoid, specifically, degeneration of cartilage and narrowing of the glenohumeral joint space. There are medical and surgical treatment options for shoulder OA. First-line therapy is conservative, consisting of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, corticosteroids, activity modification, and viscosupplementation. If symptoms are severe and disabling and unresponsive to medical therapy, the patient may require arthroscopy or partial or total shoulder joint replacement.
