Types of Shoulder Surgery
- Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera inserted into the joint to repair damage through tiny incisions. Benefits include less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
- Open Shoulder Surgery: Used for complex cases or severe damage, providing direct access to the shoulder joint for reconstruction or replacement.
- Shoulder Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty): Replacement of the shoulder joint with a prosthetic when arthritis or injury has severely damaged the joint, restoring mobility and eliminating pain.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Pre-Surgery Consultation: Full examination, medical history review, and imaging tests such as X-rays and MRI to plan the surgery.
- Anesthesia: General or regional anesthesia to ensure comfort and pain-free operation.
- Surgery: Depending on the condition, surgery may last 1–3 hours.
- Recovery Room: Close monitoring post-surgery before moving to regular room or discharge.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
- Ice therapy, rest, and prescribed pain relief during the first few days.
