Shoulder Treatment
Stabilising Shoulder Dislocations
- Shoulder dislocations are disabling injuries in young persons.
- The shoulder joint slips out of its place and the arm gets locked.
- Early correction of the dislocation relieves pain.
- Your surgeon can correct such dislocation by painless methods.
- Some patients have a risk of repeated dislocations, and repeated discomforts.
- Evaluation will show which patients are at an increased risk of repeated dislocations, and these patients can be benefited by arthroscopic or open shoulder stabilisation procedures.
Labral Repair
- Labrum is a stabilising structure in the shoulder.
Arthroscopy for Painful Shoulder
- Shoulder is a complex joint comprised of three separate joints, and many ligaments holding the bones together. Many muscles also surround the joints.
- All these can be pain source.
- Patients need careful evaluation to identify the cause of pain.
- If identified early, pain can be relieved by exercises and activity modifications.
- Even at a late stages, pain can be completely relieved by arthroscopic management.
Cuff Repair
- Rotator cuff is a group of muscles surrounding shoulder joint.
- They help in maintaining the shoulder in proper position, even as it moves when we are doing activities like dressing up, combing, etc.
- Cuff can get torn during injuries, or when it get weak due to age.
- Torn cuff results in inability to raise the arm, as well in abnormal movements in shoulder, causing pain and degeneration.
- Small cuff tears can be treated by exercises to strengthen the surrounding intact muscles.
- Larger cuff tears are repaired to restore the normal shoulder function and avoid degeneration of shoulder.
