Same day shoulder replacement, also known as outpatient shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with an artificial implant, allowing smoother motion and reducing chronic pain. Unlike traditional shoulder replacement, which typically requires an overnight hospital stay, patients can go home the same day. Dr. Kofi makes this process simple and straightforward, providing you with advanced care that causes less disruption to your life.
On the day of surgery, you’ll meet with Dr. Kofi to review your plan and answer any questions. After anesthesia, the damaged parts of the shoulder joint are carefully removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant designed to mimic natural movement. The procedure usually takes a few hours. Because it’s outpatient, you’ll be discharged home the same day with clear instructions, pain management guidance, and a recovery plan tailored to you.

This procedure is most commonly recommended for severe shoulder arthritis, significant joint damage, or chronic pain and stiffness that hasn’t responded to non-surgical care. It can also help patients with certain types of fractures or injuries that prevent proper shoulder function. By replacing the worn joint with a smooth, durable implant, pain is reduced and mobility is restored.

Same day shoulder replacement specifically addresses the shoulder joint—restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving strength.
The biggest advantage is convenience— patients return home the same day, avoiding a hospital stay. This means less risk of infection, more comfort, and an earlier start to recovery. Same day shoulder replacement also allows patients to return to daily routines faster, with the same long-term benefits of traditional replacement. For many, it’s a chance to regain independence, reduce pain, and get back to the activities that matter most.

You may be a candidate if you have severe shoulder pain, stiffness, or loss of mobility that hasn’t improved with medications, injections, or physical therapy. Same day procedures are best for patients who are in good overall health and have the support needed for at-home recovery. Dr. Kofi will review your medical history, imaging, and lifestyle to determine if this is the right approach for you.

Most patients begin using the arm with support almost immediately, with physical therapy starting shortly after. You’ll likely wear a sling for several weeks and gradually regain mobility and strength through guided exercises. Because you return home the same day, it’s important to follow instructions closely to ensure proper healing. Many patients notice significant pain relief within weeks, with continued improvement as therapy progresses.
For many, this procedure provides lasting relief and a return to daily activities that were once limited by pain and stiffness.
When can I see results?
Most patients notice improved shoulder comfort within weeks, with full results developing over several months of therapy.

Implants are designed to last 15–20 years or longer, depending on activity and overall health.
