With rheumatoid arthritis, a person's immune system mistakenly attacks itself and causes the joint lining to swell. The inflammation spreads to the surrounding tissues, and can eventually damage cartilage and bone.

Shoulder joint replacement surgery can be an effective treatment when rheumatoid arthritis has seriously impaired the shoulder joint. Talk with your doctor to see if shoulder joint replacement surgery is an appropriate treatment for your rheumatoid arthritis.
