The shoulder is our body's most flexible joint. It enables you to position and rotate your arm in a variety of ways in front, above, to the side, and behind the body. This flexibility makes your shoulder more prone to damage and instability, resulting in shoulder pain.
There are several causes of shoulder pain, including:
Injury, abuse, and age-related wear and tear are the leading causes of shoulder diseases. Shoulder arthroscopy can treat a variety of illnesses involving the rotator cuff tendons, labrum, articular cartilage, and other soft tissues around the joint.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating shoulder issues. Shoulder impingement or rotator cuff injuries may necessitate arthroscopy. Traditional surgery requires larger incisions, whereas minimally invasive techniques require fewer incisions. The incisions are approximately the size of a keyhole.
A small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into your body through a tiny incision in your skin by your surgeon. This camera uses a video screen to display images of your shoulder joint. These photos are used by your provider to determine the cause of your injury. The provider will utilize microscopic surgical equipment to restore your shoulder's mobility if you need a shoulder repair.
Common arthroscopic procedures include:
A rotator cuff repair is one of the most popular surgical operations for the shoulder. The surgery's purpose is to locate the rotator cuff's injured section and clean and repair any torn or damaged tendons. Once the surgeon has located the healthy tissue, he or she will employ several procedures to repair the tendon without extending the remaining tissues.The goal of these procedures is to minimize the pain, restore strength and functionality.
If your rotator cuff rupture is complicated or big, your doctor may recommend this form of shoulder surgery to repair the shoulder muscle and tendon completely. Bone spurs or other types of reconstruction may be used in some cases.
A small camera and little devices will be used within small incisions around your shoulder during this type of shoulder surgery. This is a less invasive shoulder procedure that is normally performed as an outpatient procedure.
An arthroscopy will be used to remove bone spurs and other damage during this type of shoulder surgery, which will need a 3 to 5-centimeter incision.
Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior (SLAP) Lesion Repair is a minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder surgery that repairs the injured area with the help of a tiny camera and miniature surgical instruments. The top (superior), front (anterior), and back (posterior) of the site where the biceps tendon joins to the Glenoid Labrum are all affected by SLAP tears.
Subacromial decompression for impingement:
Your doctor may choose shoulder arthroscopy if you have a painful condition that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Nonsurgical therapies include rest, physical therapy, and medications or injections that can reduce inflammation and allow injured tissues to heal.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for shoulder arthroscopy in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Arthroscopy of the shoulder normally takes less than an hour. During arthroscopy of the shoulder:
You'll either be semi-seated (like a beach chair) or lying on your side. To expand the joint, your surgeon may inject fluid into it. This allows the arthroscope to see all of the structures in your shoulder more easily.
Once the issue has been identified, your surgeon will treat it with a variety of small devices placed through various incisions. Specialized equipment is used for shaving, cutting, grasping, suture passage, and knot tying. Stitches are commonly anchored in bone using special devices.
Your surgeon may use stitches or steri-strips (tiny Band-Aids) to close your incisions and cover them with a large, soft bandage.
The outcomes of shoulder arthroscopy in India are really encouraging. Approximately 95% of people who have shoulder surgery are pain-free. Shoulder arthroscopy can help you live a better life by reducing joint pain, increasing range of motion, and improving your quality of life. It may take a few months before you realize all of the benefits of the procedure.
Although arthroscopy recovery is frequently faster than open surgical recovery, it can still take weeks to months for your shoulder joint to fully recover.
Lying flat may tug on your shoulder and produce discomfort, even though it has no effect on how your shoulder heals. During the first few days after surgery, some patients prefer to sleep in a reclining chair or propped up in bed.
You should be able to replace your huge bandage with simple Band-Aids a few days after surgery. Once your wounds have stopped flowing, you can wash, but don't soak or scrape your incisions.
To safeguard your shoulder, you'll probably require a sling or a specific immobilizer. Your surgeon will talk to you about how long you'll need to wear the sling.
In order for your operation to be successful, you must also put out a considerable effort in rehabilitation.
After knee arthroscopy, shoulder arthroscopy is the second most common orthopedic surgery. Joints, bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons are all treated in orthopedic surgery.
One of the most prevalent types of shoulder arthroscopy is rotator cuff surgery.
Depending on your unique condition, you may opt for shoulder arthroscopy rather than open surgery (which requires a wider incision). Arthroscopic operations offer a lower risk of infection and a faster recovery time than open surgeries. Shoulder arthroscopy also causes less stiffness and pain in the joint than open operations.
Shoulder arthroscopy is an outpatient operation, which means you will be able to return home the same day. It normally takes less than an hour to complete the process.
After surgery, you'll need to stay in the hospital for an hour or two to recover. If pain medicine is required, your doctors will prescribe it. You'll need a ride home after that. It's ideal if you can spend the night with a family member or friend.
Regrettably, all surgeries are painful. The anesthetic team at your hospital, on the other hand, is focused on keeping you comfortable throughout surgery. They will talk to you about your alternatives.
Nerve blocks are frequently injected into your neck or shoulder during shoulder arthroscopy surgery. Your shoulder and arm will become numb as a result of these nerve blocks. They also aid in post-surgery pain management. In some situations, general anesthesia is used to keep you sleeping during your procedure.
Pain is a normal aspect of the healing process. Discuss your concerns with your healthcare providers. They can help you cope with pain as your body heals.
Shoulder arthroscopy is usually considered to be a highly safe procedure. However, like any procedure, it also carries the risk of blood clots, damage to nerves and blood vessels, infection, bleeding or swelling after the procedure.
After shoulder arthroscopy, your shoulder joint will take weeks to months to fully heal. For at least a few weeks, you may have pain and edema.
Pain treatment can be achieved with the use of ice and pain medicines. For a few days after your operation, consider sleeping raised up in a chair or bed. A sling may be recommended by your surgeon to safeguard your shoulder.
Gentle exercise and physical therapy are part of a rehabilitation strategy. It can help you move and strengthen your shoulders. Your healthcare practitioner will devise a rehabilitation programme tailored to your particular shoulder surgery.
The length of time it takes you to return to your normal routine is determined by the complexity of your surgery. You may be able to return to work or school in a few days if you've undergone a minor operation. More extensive surgeries will take longer to recuperate from. Your healthcare practitioner will provide you with advice that is appropriate for your recovery.
Joint replacement surgery is most frequently referred to as arthroplasty. It is a more major open operation than Arthroscopy, involving the replacement of your joint with a replica artificial joint.
Instead of the smaller incisions used during arthroscopies, open operations use a single big incision. This is a more traditional surgical treatment that takes longer to heal and recover from than an arthroscopic procedure.
It's a small procedure that can be done as an outpatient, meaning you can go home the same day. If you have joint inflammation, have been injured in a joint, or have gradually harmed a joint, your doctor may recommend it. Arthroscopy can be performed on any joint.
Shoulder arthroscopy is usually done under general anesthesia, or with sedation and local anesthesia- a mix of medications that will put you to sleep for the duration of the surgery, once you are in the operating room. You will have no sensations. A nerve block, which numbs the shoulder, may also be administered by the anesthesiologist.

With our experience of over a decade and working with the best surgeons and top hospitals in India, we help make your medical tour easier and safer for you. We will guide you at every step of the way and make end-to-end arrangements for your surgery, travel, and stay.
