Shoulder Surgery

Shoulder surgery aims to repair torn rotator cuff tendons, crucial for arm movement, through arthroscopic or open methods. The procedure restores shoulder function, alleviates pain, and improves range of motion. Artificial joints last around 15 years but may wear out sooner due to conditions like arthritis or diabetes. Surgery options include total shoulder replacement or partial removal (subacromial decompression).

Shoulder replacement surgery is recommended for individuals experiencing debilitating shoulder pain and weakness, impacting daily activities like bathing and dressing. Despite treatments like anti-inflammatory drugs, cortisone injections, and physiotherapy, which may not always alleviate pain and can lead to serious side effects with prolonged use, shoulder replacement becomes necessary for improved function and pain relief.

When it comes to Shoulder Surgery, there are several options available. Although they are not as common as knee or hip replacement, they are equally successful in relieving shoulder pain. The Orthopedic physician will take an expert decision to treat the broad range of Shoulder Conditions & Treatments that can occur at any stage of life.

Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery replaces both sides of the shoulder joint, including the humeral head and glenoid, to relieve pain and improve motion function by replacing cartilage with a metal ball and plastic socket, typically performed using an arthroscope.

Partial Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Minimally invasive procedure for rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis, and injuries, involving synthetic part replacement through small shoulder incisions.

Rotator cuff surgery repairs torn muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the shoulder, alleviating pain and weakness by using stitches and staples to mend the tear.

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that enables doctors to examine and repair shoulder joint damage through small incisions, promoting rapid recovery and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

• Arthroscopic surgery reduces pain and improves mobility with minimal blood loss, bruising, and pain during recovery.
• Faster recovery compared to living with untreated pain or damage, enabling quicker healing and minimal scar formation.
• Use of an arm sling post-surgery aids in recovery, with full recovery typically taking about three weeks and physical therapy helping regain flexibility and strength.

• Shoulder arthroscopy is utilized to remove damaged tissue, loose fragments, or foreign bodies from the shoulder joint, also addressing conditions like frozen shoulder.
• Cost of surgery varies depending on treatment location and amenities/instruments used.

• 5000 to USD 8100 (INR 396522 to INR Average cost ranges from USD 642366), determined by factors like medical condition, surgeon, hospital type, and location.
