Conditions Treated
Shoulder dislocations often occur due to sports injuries or accidents. When this happens, the ligaments stabilizing the shoulder may tear, leading to long-term instability and recurrent dislocations.
Key Conditions
- Hill-Sachs Lesion – A bone indentation caused by shoulder dislocation
- Bankart Lesion – A tear in the labrum (cartilage ring) that keeps the shoulder stable
Treatment Approach
- Arthroscopic Ligament Repair – A minimally invasive procedure to restore joint stability and prevent future dislocations
- Rehabilitation & Strengthening Exercises – Essential for long-term recovery and shoulder stability
Questions ? You're Covered
1. Do all shoulder injuries require surgery ?
- Not always. Many injuries heal with physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Surgery is only considered when non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief.
2. What is the recovery time after arthroscopic surgery ?
- Most patients can resume daily activities in 4-6 weeks, but full recovery and strength building may take a few months.
3. Will I regain full mobility after rotator cuff surgery ?
- Yes, with proper post-surgical rehabilitation and physiotherapy, most patients regain full function over time.
4. How long does a shoulder replacement last ?
- A well-performed shoulder replacement can last 10-20 years, depending on activity level and overall health.
