Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a highly demanding technique and we provide excellent skilful management of shoulder problems by arthroscopy (key hole surgeries). Conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears (supraspinatus /infraspinatus /subscapularis), Bankart’s lesion/ shoulder instability, SLAP lesion, associated hill such lesion etc.
Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgeries
Rotator Cuff Tears
Treatment of rotator cuff tears is done with shoulder arthroscopy. In some cases, open procedure may be performed as an intraoperative/ preoperative decision to obtain best results
Shoulder Instability
Labral Tears Labral tears, such as Bankart tears and SLAP tears, are commonly treated with arthroscopy. It is very important that patients who have arthroscopic surgery for these procedures follow their post-operative rehab protocol very closely. Patients are often tempted to do too much too soon!
Shoulder Bursitis
Patients with shoulder bursitis, also called impingement syndrome, that is not cured with simple treatments may consider a procedure called an arthroscopic subacromial decompression. This procedure removes the inflamed bursa and some bone from the irritated area around the rotator cuff tendons.
Biceps Tendonitis
The biceps tendon can become irritated and inflamed as an isolated problem or in association with problems such as impingement syndrome and rotator cuff tears. When the biceps tendon is damaged and causing pain, a procedure called a biceps tenodesis can be performed.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder seldom requires operative treatment, and treatment for many months or years is often necessary before considering operative treatment.
AC Joint Arthritis
The AC joint, or acromioclavicular joint, is occasionally affected by arthritis. When arthritis of the AC joint is severe, the end of the clavicle (collarbone) can be removed.
