Shoulder pain and dysfunction can significantly impact your daily life and limit your ability to perform even simple tasks. At Sakra World Hospital, we offer advanced diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of shoulder conditions. Our team of experienced orthopedic specialists and sports medicine experts is dedicated to providing world-class care, helping patients regain mobility and live pain-free lives.
Shoulder Conditions We Treat
At Sakra World Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various shoulder conditions, including:
- Rotator Cuff Tears Rotator cuff injuries are common, especially among athletes and older adults. Whether it’s a partial or full-thickness tear, our team provides both non-surgical and surgical options, including advanced arthroscopic repair, to restore strength and mobility.
- Shoulder Arthritis Shoulder arthritis, caused by joint degeneration or inflammation, leads to chronic pain and stiffness. We offer a range of treatments, including joint preservation techniques, injections, and total or reverse shoulder replacement surgeries, tailored to individual needs.
- Shoulder Instability Frequent shoulder dislocations or a feeling of looseness can indicate instability. Our specialists use arthroscopic and open stabilization techniques to repair damaged ligaments and restore joint stability.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) This painful and limiting condition is treated through a combination of minimally invasive procedures, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programs, ensuring complete recovery and restored range of motion.
- Shoulder Impingement When shoulder tendons are compressed, it can cause pain and restricted movement. We perform arthroscopic decompression and soft tissue release to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
- SLAP Tear: A SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior) tear involves damage to the cartilage that stabilizes the shoulder joint. Treatment options include arthroscopic repair to restore shoulder function and prevent further damage.
- Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries Athletes often face acute or overuse injuries, including ligament tears, fractures, and tendon strains. We provide specialized care using advanced surgical techniques and personalized rehabilitation to help athletes return to their peak performance.
- Rotator Cuff Arthropathy: This condition refers to the degeneration of the rotator cuff tendon and associated joint arthritis. We provide treatments ranging from conservative management to advanced shoulder replacement surgeries to restore function and alleviate pain.
- Proximal Humerus Fractures: Fractures of the upper arm bone (proximal humerus) can significantly impact mobility and function. We offer tailored treatment options, including surgical interventions like plate fixation or shoulder replacement, to ensure optimal recovery.
- Two-Part Fracture: This type of fracture occurs when the humeral bone breaks into two pieces, with one fragment displaced.
- Treatment: Immobilization with a sling or brace is usually the first step to allow healing, providing support, and limiting movement to prevent further injury.
- Three-Part Fracture: In this case, the humeral bone is broken into three pieces, and two of these fragments are displaced.
- Treatment: Similar to a two-part fracture, initial treatment often involves immobilization with a sling or brace. However, depending on the severity, surgical intervention may be required if the fracture does not heal adequately with immobilization.
- Four-Part Fracture: This is a more severe fracture where the humerus is broken into four fragments, and three of these fragments are displaced.
- Treatment: Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgery realigns the bone fragments and uses screws or plates to hold them in place while they heal, restoring shoulder function and preventing complications.
- Head-Splitting Fracture: This type of fracture involves the splitting of the humeral head, which is the ball portion of the shoulder joint.
- Treatment: Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) realigns the fractured bone pieces and stabilizes them with screws or plates to restore shoulder movement and prevent complications.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
At Sakra World Hospital, we utilize the latest surgical innovations for effective and minimally invasive shoulder care:
- Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and instruments to repair tendons, ligaments, and cartilage with precision.
- Robotic-Assisted Shoulder Surgery: Enhances precision and outcomes in complex procedures, such as shoulder replacements and ligament repairs.
- Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Ideal for patients with severe arthritis or irreparable rotator cuff tears, this technique reconfigures the joint mechanics to restore function.
- Soft Tissue and Ligament Reconstruction: Advanced grafting techniques are used to repair or replace damaged ligaments, ensuring joint stability.
- Fracture Fixation: We use modern implants, such as plates and screws, to achieve secure bone healing in shoulder fractures.
- Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
This minimally invasive technique repairs torn rotator cuff tendons using small incisions and specialized tools, ensuring quicker recovery with minimal scarring.
- Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
Used for repairing shoulder dislocations or instability caused by labral tears, this procedure restores the shoulder's stability and prevents recurrent dislocations.
- Arthroscopic SLAP Repair
For patients with SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior) tears, this minimally invasive procedure addresses cartilage damage, helping to restore shoulder function and prevent pain.
- Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery
For patients with severe arthritis or joint degeneration, total shoulder replacement involves replacing the damaged joint with an artificial one to restore motion and reduce pain.
- Shoulder Fracture Fixation Surgery
In cases of shoulder fractures, we perform precise fixation surgeries, using plates, screws, or other hardware to secure fractured bones and promote healing.
