Revision Surgery for a Shoulder Replacement

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 23473

Redoes a previous total shoulder replacement, taking out artificial parts that have worn, loosened, become infected or sit badly, and fitting new ones. Bone lost around the old implant may be rebuilt with donor bone. It is longer and more demanding than the first replacement, because scar tissue and weakened bone have to be dealt with before new parts can be seated.
