The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. Most shoulder movements occur where the ball at the top of your arm bone (‘humerus’) fits into the shallow socket(‘glenoid’), which is part of the shoulder blade(‘scapula’). This means that it has a tendency to be ‘too loose’. There are various structures that help to keep the joint in position. They are ligaments, a rim of cartilage, and muscles.
Most shoulders dislocate forwards and/or downwards. Sometimes the ball of the humerus bone only partly comes out of the socket of the shoulder blade (glenoid). This is known as subluxation. When the first shoulder dislocation or subluxation occurs ligaments are often damaged at the front of the shoulder. 70% of people who have shoulder dislocation have persistent symptoms of instability because the ligaments no longer keep the joint in position. This is particularly when the arm is lifted upwards and outwards. Gradually the shoulder may become loose and may dislocate spontaneously even while sleeping.
If the shoulder was lying dislocated and has been reduced, you will be given pain medications and an arm pouch for giving rest to your shoulder. After the pain subsides and your shoulder regains motion, you may be advised to exercise.
The definitive treatment is surgical in which the torn part of the labrum is sutured back to the socket (glenoid). The most commonly done procedure is called Bankart repair. This can be done by arthroscopy (using small keyhole incisions and a camera to look inside the joint and repair the torn structures).
Arthroscopy has revolutionized the management of this problem. Previously open surgeries were performed leading to stiffness. But now torn ligaments are fixed by an arthroscopic technique where small keyhole cuts are made over the shoulder joint through which the torn capsule & labrum is repaired. This technique has an excellent success rate without any stiffness or restriction of movement.
After the surgery, the arm is rested in an arm pouch for 2-3 weeks. Gentle pendulum exercises are started the next day after the surgery. The sutures are removed after 2 weeks. Physiotherapy is done under supervision of our team of physiotherapists initially and later at home by the patient himself which has to be followed up at regular intervals on OPD basis.
The cost of shoulder arthroscopy in India can vary widely depending on several factors, including the location of the hospital or medical facility, the surgeon’s fees, the type of procedure, and whether or not you have health insurance. On average, the cost of a basic shoulder arthroscopy in India can range from approximately 30,000 INR to 1,00,000 INR or more.
Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, and the actual cost may be higher or lower based on the specific circumstances of your case.
The estimated cost of shoulder arthroscopy in Delhi is 30,000 – 1,00,000 Rs. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider or hospital in your preferred location in India to get a more accurate and up-to-date cost estimate for your shoulder arthroscopy procedure in Delhi.
Definitely, arthroscopic shoulder surgery is worth it if it’s done by an experienced surgeon.
Shoulder arthroscopy is generally considered a safe and minimally invasive surgical procedure for diagnosing and treating various shoulder conditions. However, like any medical procedure, it is not entirely without risk. Some potential risks and complications associated with shoulder arthroscopy may include:
