Shoulder replacement is the fastest-growing joint replacement in America, and most people have never heard of it. Dr. Schultz sits down with shoulder specialist Dr. Michael Loeb to walk through who actually needs one, what to try first, the difference between an anatomic and a reverse replacement in plain English, and what recovery honestly looks like.
If you can’t open a jar, button a shirt, or hold a pen without a deep ache at the base of your thumb, this one is for you. I sat down with my partner Dr. Brian Hardy, a fellowship-trained hand surgeon, to talk through basal joint arthritis from first symptoms to full recovery. We cover what helps before surgery, and what the operation actually involves if you get there.
