Frequently Asked Questions
The shoulder is one of the largest joints in the human body controlling a wide array of arm and shoulder motions due to its flexibility. It is also the most complex joint made up of the humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade) and collarbone, connected by many fibrous connective tissues called ligaments. The shoulder has a ball-and-socket type joint in which the rotator cuff, made of muscles and tendons, keeps the head of your upper arm bone (ball) in the shoulder socket. Thanks to the flexibility of your shoulder joint, you can move your arms around in every direction. It makes the rotation of arms and placement of arms on your back possible. But this kind of flexibility also makes the shoulder prone to injuries.
Based on the extent of your injury, the doctor ponders on the possible treatment options. Whether the damage can be treated with certain medications and physiotherapy, or it requires shoulder surgery. Often the doctors advise oral treatments initially to reduce inflammation and heal the injured tissues. However, holding up the surgical option for too long might worsen the injury.
Shoulder surgery can resolve various issues concerning the shoulder. The shoulder joints can get naturally damaged or diseased with age, which can be repaired or replaced by shoulder surgery. The surgery can also mend the torn rotator cuff, ensuring painless motions of the arm and shoulders.
Depending on the extent of injury or damage, there are various types of shoulder surgeries including,
- Arthroplasty: Arthroplasty repairs and restores an unhealthy shoulder joint. The infected bone or part of it is replaced with a prosthetic joint (the whole joint or a part of it) or replace the infected part with artificial material. If a patient ails with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, then the orthopaedist often recommends arthroplasty.
- Arthroscopy: In arthroscopy or keyhole surgery, the doctor inserts a camera via a small incision to examine the shoulder joint and the tissues around it. The doctor views a live feed of the insides of your joint while performing the surgery. Arthroscopic surgery is advised by the doctor for shoulder dislocations, tendinitis, repairing the torn cartilage and frozen shoulder.
- Shoulder muscles are treated by soft tissue repairs.
- In rotator cuff repairs, the tendons connecting the head of the humerus to the shoulder socket are repaired (usually connected back to the socket) via a surgical procedure.
In addition to the surgery, the doctor may perform other treatments, including,
- Bursectomy: A cushion-like sac called bursa found in the shoulder joint is removed using bursectomy.
- Certain injuries, including fracture of collarbone and dislocation, can be treated by surgeries.
As mentioned earlier, an orthopaedist recommends the type of surgery based on the extent of the ailment and various other factors.
A surgical procedure used to inspect a joint, identify the issue and heal the ailment is called arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is made of two words, “arthro” or joint and “skopein” or “to look”. It means “to look within the joint”. It has been performed on patients suffering from shoulder ailments since the 1970s. The surgical orthopaedist slides a camera through a minimal incision into your shoulder joint during the shoulder arthroscopy. A live feed of the patient’s shoulder joint is viewed by the doctor while performing the surgery with scaled-down instruments.
A regular surgery requires significant cuts to work on the wounds comfortably. But due to the small size of the arthroscope and surgical instruments, the incisions made by the doctor are pretty minuscule, resulting in less pain and faster recovery. With the miniature instruments, the cuts can be a lot more precise when compared to traditional surgery, resulting in lesser tissue damage.
With ever-evolving and growing technology, shoulder arthroscopy has made the treatment and recovery of the patients easier and faster. Medications are prescribed by the doctor to moderate the pain afterwards. Physiotherapy is required depending upon the extent of ailment and surgery.
Due to so much technology and skill being used, the arthroscopic shoulder surgery cost in Mumbai is higher than traditional surgery, but there are various benefits to it. You should visit the Shoulder And Knee Clinic and book a consultation with Dr Aditya Sai to undergo the treatment at affordable prices.
For any ailment regarding your shoulder, the orthopaedist initially recommends certain non-surgical treatment options, which may include physiotherapy, medications and/or injections with a primary focus on alleviating the pain and inflammation and letting the tendons and ligaments heal naturally. Experts believe that the pain and inflammation are a response of your body trying to fight the ailment. If a shoulder is diseased, you may experience stiffness and swelling due to inflammation.
Shoulder issues in most cases are either age-related or due to injury or wearing out the joints and muscles. A shoulder injury can be excruciatingly painful either way because of the vast array of motions of a shoulder. Shoulder arthroscopy can resolve various problems associated with rotator cuff, articular cartilage and other soft tissues around the shoulder.
Following are various procedures performed by arthroscopic shoulder surgery:
- Ligaments can be repaired.
- Loose tissues and cartilage can be eliminated with arthroscopic surgery.
- Shoulder dislocation can be resolved.
- Rotator cuff repair.
- Labrum repair or removal.
Although shoulder arthroscopy can treat various acute and chronic issues, certain procedures still require traditional surgery, including shoulder replacement.

It is tough and crucial to choose the right solution in the face of adversity. Just like that, choosing a surgeon when in pain with an injury or affliction is gruelling and time-consuming. Even if the injury is mild and chronic, surgery is only chosen once, which can be very stressful. Many things depend upon the surgery, like the pain after the surgery, the risks, the benefits and most importantly, the recovery time. The recovery time tells you when you can join your job again because a steady job is essential in this dog-eat-dog world.
You might have somebody amongst your friends and family who had a bad experience where the surgery went wrong; the problem worsened instead of healing. The doctor did not take accountability for it, and it cost them a lot of money. A story like that might put you off from having the surgery.
So the most crucial aspect of any procedure or surgery is the surgeon. For your shoulder ailments, you need an arthroscopic orthopaedist who is quite accomplished in their field. The orthopaedist should examine your problem extensively using tests and diagnosis methods. He should ask and listen to you about your medical history, including past conditions and any surgeries around the shoulder, any prior medications, anybody supplements you take, etc.
Whether the surgeon has their face on giant billboards is not a testament to their experience or excellence. You can also check the surgeon’s credentials, i.e. their graduation, specialization, internship or training, fellowships, etc. These credentials set the excellent surgeons apart. They should also have board certification and licencing.
