Comprehensive Shoulder Reconstruction
Shoulder Replacement & Open Surgeries
Overview
Shoulder replacement and open shoulder surgeries include advanced procedures such as Anatomic Shoulder Arthroplasty, Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty, complex fracture reconstruction, tendon transfers, and revision surgeries. These procedures are designed to treat severe and complex shoulder conditions that cannot be managed with minimally invasive techniques alone.
We utilize computer-assisted navigation and patient-specific instrumentation to ensure accurate implant placement and restoration of natural shoulder mechanics. Complex trauma cases, infections, tumor resections, and failed prior surgeries are managed through meticulous open reconstructive procedures.
Through detailed pre-operative planning and structured rehabilitation programs, our goal is to eliminate pain, restore function, and help patients return confidently to daily activities and work.
Conditions Treated with Shoulder Surgery
-
Advanced Shoulder Arthritis
Severe cartilage damage leading to bone-on-bone pain, stiffness, and loss of motion. Shoulder arthroplasty restores smooth joint movement and relieves chronic pain. -
Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears
Massive tears causing weakness and inability to lift the arm, treated effectively with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. -
Complex Proximal Humerus Fractures
Multi-fragment fractures requiring open reduction, internal fixation, or joint replacement for proper healing. -
Failed or Complex Previous Surgeries
Revision procedures to address implant loosening, infection, or bone loss. -
Massive Rotator Cuff Tears with Tendon Transfers
Tendon transfer procedures restore function in patients unsuitable for primary repair.
Benefits of Shoulder Replacement & Open Surgery
-
Significant Pain Relief
Eliminates bone-on-bone contact and reduces chronic inflammation. -
Improved Shoulder Range of Motion
Restores smooth joint movement and overhead function. -
Accurate Implant Positioning
Navigation technology ensures precise alignment and long-term durability. -
Restoration of Strength & Stability
Balanced soft tissues improve shoulder mechanics and eliminate instability. -
Comprehensive Treatment of Complex Conditions
Open approaches allow direct management of fractures, tumors, and revision cases. -
Enhanced Daily Activity & Sleep Comfort
Enables return to normal routines and comfortable rest.
Recovery Guidelines & Precautions
-
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
- Begin guided physiotherapy within 24–48 hours.
- Use arm sling or immobilizer as directed.
- Gradual progression of shoulder strengthening exercises.
- Follow a structured rehabilitation protocol.
-
Activity Restrictions & Precautions
- Avoid heavy lifting for 8–12 weeks.
- Refrain from overhead sports until medically cleared.
- Follow positioning and sleep precautions.
- Increase activity gradually under supervision.
