much power which a normal human shoulder have.
The capacity of working your shoulder will
decrease because after surgery the joint ball are
not original. The ball used in surgery are
consist of a metal ball that rotates within a
polyethylene (plastic) socket. The metal ball
takes the place of the patient's humeral head and
is anchored via a stem, which is inserted down
the shaft of the hummers. The plastic socket is
placed over the patient's glenoid and is
typically secured to the surrounding bone via
cement. Recent advances in technology have led
to the development of stemless as well as cement

room.
