Recurrent Dislocation of Shoulder

Recurrent shoulder dislocation refers to repeated shoulder dislocations. Patients are considered to have an unstable shoulder or shoulder instability if they have a propensity for recurrent (repeated) dislocation or subluxation (unstable shoulder).

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement happens when your rotator cuff rubs up against (or "impinges on") or is pinched underneath it by the top outer edge of your shoulder blade, known as the acromion.

Rotator Cuff Tear

People who continually move their shoulders in the same ways are more likely to sustain a rotator cuff injury. Shoulder discomfort and weakness are symptoms. Rest, medication, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and even surgery are all part of the treatment plan.

What is shoulder arthroscopic surgery?

Shoulder arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat shoulder problems such as rotator cuff tears, impingement, and instability.

When is shoulder arthroscopy recommended?

It is recommended when patients have persistent shoulder pain, limited movement, or instability that does not improve with medications or physiotherapy. Common conditions include rotator cuff tears, SLAP tears, frozen shoulder, and shoulder impingement.

How long does shoulder arthroscopic surgery take?

The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition being treated.

Is shoulder arthroscopy painful?

The surgery itself is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild to moderate discomfort may occur after surgery, but it is manageable with medications and proper care.

What is the recovery time after shoulder arthroscopy?

Recovery varies depending on the condition treated. Most patients resume daily activities within 2–4 weeks, while complete recovery (especially for rotator cuff repair) may take 3–6 months with physiotherapy.
