    Shoulder Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that offers numerous benefits for patients suffering from shoulder injuries or conditions. This advanced technique involves the use of a small camera, called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the shoulder joint through tiny incisions. The arthroscope provides a clear and detailed view of the inside of the shoulder joint, allowing the orthopedic surgeon to accurately diagnose and treat various shoulder problems.

    Some common conditions that can be treated with shoulder arthroscopy include rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, labral tears, and shoulder instability. The minimally invasive nature of this procedure leads to several benefits for patients.

    Advantages of Shoulder Arthroscopy

    • Shoulder arthroscopy offers a quicker recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. The small incisions result in less tissue damage and scarring, allowing patients to experience less pain and discomfort post-surgery.
    • During the Shoulder Arthroscopy procedure, the surgeon inserts the arthroscope through a small incision and uses specialized instruments to repair or remove damaged tissues. The ability to access the shoulder joint without fully opening it up significantly reduces the risk of complications and infection.
    • Shoulder arthroscopy also provides surgeons with a detailed view of the shoulder joint, allowing them to accurately diagnose and treat various conditions such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, and labral tears. The arthroscope enables surgeons to visualize the joint structures in real-time, facilitating precise surgical interventions.
    • Another advantage of shoulder arthroscopy is the ability to perform certain procedures simultaneously. For example, if a patient has a rotator cuff tear and a labral tear, both can be addressed during the same surgery. This not only saves time but also reduces the need for multiple surgeries and anesthesia.
    • Shoulder Arthroscopy also leads to less post-operative pain and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. The risk of infection is significantly reduced due to the smaller incisions.
    • Shoulder arthroscopy can be performed on an outpatient basis, eliminating the need for hospitalization. Patients can return home on the same day as the procedure, leading to a more convenient and cost-effective treatment option.

    In conclusion, shoulder arthroscopy offers numerous advantages, including faster recovery, reduced risk of infection, precise diagnosis and treatment,

    Shoulder problems can be a major hindrance in daily life activities and can cause severe pain and discomfort. While some shoulder problems can be managed with exercises and physiotherapy, there are some conditions that require surgical intervention. 

    It is essential to understand that delaying the surgical treatment for too long can lead to poor outcomes. Conditions such as full thickness Rotator Cuff tear, displaced shoulder fracture, or advanced shoulder arthritis require immediate surgical treatment. If these conditions are left untreated, they can lead to severe pain, limited mobility, and decreased quality of life. 

    Shoulder surgery is a safe and effective treatment option when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. The advancements in surgical techniques and technology have made shoulder surgery less invasive and more successful. It is crucial to consult a doctor and get a proper diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment plan for shoulder problems. 
    Delaying the treatment can lead to irreversible damage and make the condition more challenging to treat. In conclusion, while some shoulder problems can be managed with exercises, it is essential to understand that surgery is necessary in some cases. Delaying the surgical treatment can lead to poor outcomes, and it is crucial to consult a doctor and get a proper diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment plan.

    Furthermore, it is important to note that not all shoulder surgeries are the same. The type of surgery required depends on the specific condition and severity of the problem. For example, arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves small incisions and the use of a camera to repair or remove damaged tissue. 

    On the other hand, open surgery involves a larger incision and direct access to the shoulder joint, making it suitable for more complex cases. Recovery time after shoulder surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual’s overall health. 

    However, physical therapy is often required to help restore range of motion and strength in the shoulder. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.

    Frozen Shoulder is the most common problem of the shoulder. It normally happens in the age of 40-50 , especially in sugar and thyroid patients. Our Shoulder joint is like a ball and socket and around it is a capsule. In Frozen shoulder, this capsule gets shrinked restricting the shoulder movement and causing pain. Initially the patient gets pain while moving the shoulder but then gradually he can also feel the pain during the rest period. Sometimes it even disturbs the sleep.

    Frozen Shoulder Treatment

    Exercise is very important in the treatment of Frozen Shoulder. The main task is to cure the capsule which has shrunk through stretching exercises. If the problem persists, the patient is advised Physiotherapy for 3-4 weeks. Most of the frozen shoulder problems can be treated with physiotherapy. If the pain is too much or unbearable, we put injections in the shoulder. In 90% of the cases, physiotherapy, medicines and exercises cure Frozen Shoulder.Sometimes the stiffness is too much and it may persist for months together.

    In some cases, if the problem still remains, Arthroscopic surgery is done. Arthroscopy is a key hole surgery in which two small holes are made in the shoulder. From 1 hole , a camera is inserted and from the other hole, an instrument is inserted to release the shrunken capsule. So the patient gets his motion and pain also decreases. But this is reserved for only those patients who don’t improve with medications and exercises. The mainstay of the treatment remains medications and exercises.

    What is ACL ligament and how is it injured

    Our knee has 2 bones – thigh bone and shin bone. The knee has 4 major ligaments. Ligaments are bands of tough, elastic connective tissue that give the joint stability and strength. Ligaments connect bones to each other. The 4 knee ligaments connect the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). 

    The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize the knee joint. ACL is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Young patients mostly have ACL injuries and are most prevalent in sportspeople. Football, basketball are some sports known to have high ACL injury rates.

    Another common cause for ACL injury is road traffic accidents especially in a country like ours with so many two wheelers.

    Problems with an injured knee. Why should it be reconstructed? When there is an ACL injury, your knee may swell, feel unstable and become too painful to bear weight. Patients will face difficulty in walking. 

    If medicines and medical support doesn’t help in 2-3 weeks, then MRI is recommended to detect ligament injury. If MRI shows ACL tear, we suggest Arthroscopy surgery, which is less invasive and allows patients to recover more quickly.

    Many times patients say we are able to walk but still why surgery is required. When a ligament is broken, the knee’s movement is hampered which can lead to cartilage damage eventually leading to Arthritis. 

    ACL Reconstruction Technique

    When an ACL ligament breaks, it doesn’t repair. It reconstructs using Arthroscopic surgery. ACL tears are not usually repaired using sutures (stitches) because repaired ACLs have generally been shown to fail over time.

    So Arthroscopy surgery is required to relieve pain and difficulties and to prevent future possibilities of arthritis. Arthroscopy surgery is also called keyhole surgery and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Two small holes are made in the knee. From 1 hole , a camera is inserted and from 1 instrument is inserted. So it’s a natural surgery. The procedure uses a connective tissue graft to rebuild or replace the injured ACL.Tissue is taken from your own body to create ligament. Once blood supply comes, it becomes a natural ligament. 

    Post surgery , you can immediately walk with a stick and braces. Stick is for 1 week or so and braces go away within 2-3 weeks. Once ligament starts having normal blood flow, you can do everything like playing sports, go for jumping, hiking, rock climbing, So to prevent future arthritis, ligament reconstruction is necessary
