Revision Total Shoulder Joint Replacement: Addressing Failed Primary Arthroplasty

Revision shoulder replacement treats implant failure, instability, or infection following a prior shoulder arthroplasty.

MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 13,200 – 18,500
• Anaesthetist fee: Not benchmarked

Coverage is generally available:
• Medically necessary revision surgery
• Hospitalisation benefits

Check whether revision surgery limits differ from primary replacement.

Revision restores function when first solutions fail. Coverage must keep pace.
