Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body and chances of injury in sports or activity are very common. If you had pain in your shoulder which is troubling your sleep then consult your local doctor as it may be a muscle or ligament tear. If the pain does not subside in 4 weeks' time with medicine and physiotherapy then you may need a further detailed examination by your shoulder specialist like an MRI scan to rule out the severity of the injury and later on a laser or keyhole minimally invasive surgery to repair the tear. In chronic cases due to the arthritis changes in the shoulder joint which can be confirmed by a plain x-ray, you may need a total shoulder replacement surgery.
In a few cases, the shoulder joint becomes stiff or frozen, and the normal range of movements decreases altering the daily activities of life. In such cases, your doctor prescribes a few medicines, steroid injection inside the joint, and a few sessions of physiotherapy depending on the severity of the disease.
Surgery & Recovery
In Total Shoulder Replacement, all or part of the shoulder joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant to relieve severe arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage. Although shoulder joint replacement is less common in India as compared to knee or hip replacement, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. When you get admitted for the surgery we carry out all the pre-surgery tests to evaluate your fitness for surgery. The surgery for each shoulder is finished in 120 minutes.
Doctors will give you several doses of antibiotics to prevent infection. Most patients are able to eat solid food and get out of bed the day after surgery. You will most likely be able to go home 2-3 days after the surgery. After surgery, you will feel some pain, but your surgeon and nurses will provide medication to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
