Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life, affecting your ability to perform routine activities such as lifting, reaching, or even sleeping comfortably. We offer cutting-edge arthroscopic shoulder surgeries in Mumbai to diagnose and treat a wide range of shoulder injuries and conditions. These minimally invasive procedures enable faster recovery times, less scarring, and a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgeries.

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery involves using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions, along with specialized instruments, to treat damaged areas within the shoulder joint. This approach provides a more accurate and precise diagnosis, minimizing the need for large incisions and reducing the trauma to surrounding tissues.

Types of Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgeries

Shoulder Labral Repair in Mumbai

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket, providing stability and supporting the shoulder joint. Injury to the labrum, often caused by repetitive overhead motions or trauma, can lead to pain, weakness, and instability. Arthroscopic shoulder labral repair is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to reattach the labrum to the glenoid (the shoulder socket) using sutures or anchors. This repair restores the shoulder's stability and helps prevent further damage or dislocation.

Biceps Tendon Repair in Mumbai

The biceps tendon connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder and is vital for arm movement and strength. Injury to the biceps tendon, such as a tear or inflammation, can cause pain, weakness, and limited motion. Through arthroscopic surgery, our surgeons can reattach or repair the biceps tendon, helping to restore full functionality and relieve pain. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with other shoulder surgeries, such as labral repairs, to address multiple issues simultaneously.

Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Surgery

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula). This joint plays a crucial role in the mobility and stability of the shoulder, facilitating movements such as lifting the arm and performing overhead activities. However, the AC joint is prone to injury due to its high range of motion and exposure to stress, especially during physical activities and contact sports.

One of the most common injuries to the AC joint is known as an AC joint separation, which can occur due to direct trauma, such as falling on an outstretched arm, or from repetitive overuse. AC joint separations are often categorized into different grades, based on the severity of the injury.

Symptoms of AC Joint Injuries:

• Pain: Pain is typically felt on the top of the shoulder, especially when reaching or lifting the arm.
• Swelling: The area around the AC joint may become swollen, particularly in the first few days after the injury.
• Deformity: In severe cases, a bump may appear at the top of the shoulder.
• Restricted Movement: The shoulder joint may become stiff, making it difficult to move the arm freely.
• Bruising: Some patients may also experience bruising around the injury site.

During the procedure, the surgeon may:

• Remove Damaged Tissue: Any torn ligaments, degenerated cartilage, or damaged tissue within the joint may be removed.
• Repair or Reattach Ligaments: The ligaments that help stabilize the joint, such as the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments, may be repaired or reattached using sutures or anchors.
• Joint Stabilization: If necessary, additional techniques such as ligament reconstruction may be employed to ensure long-term joint stability.

Shoulder Stabilization Surgery in Mumbai

Shoulder instability can occur when the ligaments surrounding the shoulder joint are damaged, often due to dislocations or repetitive overhead activities. Shoulder stabilization surgery aims to repair or tighten the ligaments, restoring the joint's stability and preventing future dislocations. This surgery is commonly performed in athletes or individuals who experience frequent shoulder dislocations or instability. The arthroscopic approach helps ensure minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, reducing recovery time.

Arthroscopic Remplissage in Mumbai

Arthroscopic remplissage is a technique used to treat shoulder instability, particularly in patients with a Hill-Sachs lesion (a defect in the bone of the shoulder caused by a dislocation). This procedure involves filling the defect with tissue to prevent the shoulder from becoming unstable and dislocating again. By using arthroscopy, the surgery is performed through small incisions, ensuring a quicker recovery and less risk of complications. Arthroscopic remplissage is often combined with other stabilization procedures to achieve optimal results.
