What Causes The Lack Of Movement In Hand After A Arthroplasty?

I had a hemi arthroplasty after. A bad fall. The surgeon put in a ball and stem. I was just discharged from physical therapy because I am not making progress. There is something definitely wrong with my arm. The doctor doesn t want to see me unless I have a problem. I went to him with this problem. He just said pick your arm up with other hand. Anyway I want another surgeon to see me but they won t get involved. All I want is to be fixed. Can you help me. I am so depressed

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
It seems you had shoulder hemi replacement after a frcature.
There are chances of Complication in every case and many times there is nothing a doctor can do about it.
There are many advances in Shoulder surgeries now. We had organised a shoulder course recently for other doctors to showcase what are advances.
In your case, there may be rotator cuff deficiency because of accident. If you can share the x rays with me, I would be able to guide you what can be done now. There are options available.
