Indications for Surgery:

Shoulder surgery may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Chronic shoulder pain that does not respond to conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, or medication.
• Limited range of motion, weakness, or instability in the shoulder joint.
• Shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, or fractures that require surgical intervention for optimal recovery.

The Surgical Procedure:

Our skilled orthopedic surgeons perform shoulder surgeries using advanced techniques and technology:

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia or regional anesthesia may be administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
• Surgical Approach: Depending on the type of surgery, a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach or traditional open surgery may be utilized.
• Repair or Reconstruction: Surgical repair, reconstruction, or replacement of damaged or injured shoulder structures to restore function and stability.
• Closure: Closure of the incisions with sutures or staples, followed by application of a sterile dressing to promote healing.

Postoperative Care:

Following shoulder surgery, patients receive comprehensive postoperative care and rehabilitation support:

• Pain Management: Administration of pain medications to manage postoperative discomfort and promote comfort during the recovery period.
• Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation program tailored to each patient’s needs to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the shoulder joint.
