Shoulder Arthroscopy, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through a tiny incision to examine or repair tissues within or around the shoulder joint. This allows for the diagnosis and treatment of various shoulder conditions with reduced recovery time compared to open surgery.
Frozen Shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. Symptoms typically develop gradually, progress over time, and then slowly resolve. The full course of the condition often spans one to three years.
Book NowA Dislocated Shoulder occurs when the head of the humerus is forced out of the shoulder socket. It causes pain, swelling, and joint instability, and may be accompanied by complications such as a Bankart lesion, Hill-Sachs lesion, rotator cuff tear, or axillary nerve injury.
A SLAP tear refers to an injury of the Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior—the top part of the shoulder’s labrum, where the biceps tendon attaches. In a SLAP injury, the tear extends both in front of (anterior) and behind (posterior) this attachment point, often causing pain, decreased range of motion, and shoulder instability.
Subacromial Decompression (also known as acromioplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to treat shoulder impingement syndrome—a condition where the bones and tendons in the shoulder rub against each other during arm elevation, causing pain. The term subacromial refers to the space beneath the acromion, a bony projection of the shoulder blade. The surgery involves removing or reshaping tissue in this space to relieve pressure and improve shoulder movement.
Shoulder Replacement is a major orthopedic surgery in which the damaged parts of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components, typically made of metal or plastic. This procedure is often recommended for patients with severe arthritis or extensive joint damage. Hospitalization for several days is usually required, followed by weeks of physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion.
Intra-articular Steroid Injections are used to relieve joint pain by reducing inflammation, particularly in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These injections are often part of conservative management strategies, especially for treating shoulder impingement and other inflammatory joint disorders.
Fractures refer to broken bones, and in the shoulder region, commonly involve the clavicle (collarbone), proximal humerus (upper arm bone), and scapula (shoulder blade). Dislocations occur when the bones forming a joint are forced out of alignment. In the shoulder, dislocations can affect any of its three major joints, depending on the nature and severity of the injury.
