The shoulder, being our body’s most flexible joint, enables arm movement and rotation in multiple positions and directions. Consequently, it is prone to a range of injuries and instability issues.

Currently, Dr.Muthus Hospitals possess noninvasive techniques of addressing injuries or issues prior to resorting to surgical intervention. Nevertheless, if a surgical remedy is necessary, prompt action ought to be taken to prevent future complications. Swift and accurate identification and management of shoulder ailments can have a substantial impact over time.

Common shoulder problems include bursitis or tendinitis, impingement and partial rotator cuff tears, full-thickness rotator cuff tears, instability, fractured collarbone and acromioclavicular joint separation, fractured head of the humerus or proximal humerus fracture, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Shoulder arthroscopy is recommended when non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, rest, medications, and injections fail to alleviate a painful condition caused by inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and pain in a diseased or injured shoulder joint.

Shoulder problems typically result from injury, age-related wear and tear, or overuse. Arthroscopy provides relief for patients by addressing damage to the rotator cuff tendons, articular cartilage, labrum, and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.
