Chronic shoulder discomfort can be excruciating, particularly when it impacts basic actions such as reaching, dressing, or lifting the arm. JP Nagar, Bangalore, sees patients with persistent shoulder pain who, despite attempts at rest, physiotherapy, or pain medications, seem to only be candidate for relief at an orthopedic pain and advanced shoulder surgery.
In JP Nagar, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Abhinandan Punit, is recognized as the leading expert in the region for his treatment of chronic pain. He is known throughout the medical community and provides pain relief to shoulder patients, restoring their ability to move, their level of physical fitness and confidence in their ability to participate in everyday activities.
Understanding Chronic Shoulder Pain
Chronic shoulder pain is described as pain that is persistent for more than the usual recovery time.
Shoulder pain is particularly the result of an injury to a shoulder joint, one of the most mobile in the human body, yet one of the most complicated, one of the most complicated of the body’s tissues.
Common Causes of Chronic Shoulder Pain
Chronic shoulder pain is experienced over a three month period for any number of reasons which include:
Rotator Cuff Tear
Damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint.
Osteoarthritis
Pain and stiffness caused by degeneration of the cartilage in the shoulder joint.
Frozen Shoulder
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, is the tightening of the shoulder capsule due to inflammation, which restricts range of motion.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Pain and swelling caused by the tendons rubbing on the shoulder blades.
Post Traumatic Injuries
Fractures or dislocations that heal improperly.
If shoulder pain that includes clicking and stiffness and loss of strength is present, a shoulder specialist is warranted, such as JP Nagar’s Dr. Abhinandan.
When is Shoulder Surgery Warranted?
Shoulder surgery is indicated when conservative measures, such as physiotherapy and pain medications, fail. This includes shoulder problems that continue to occur and that are unresponsive to any method of conservative treatment. Indicators include:
- Severe pain that occurs, even when resting or during the night.
- A significant reduction of range of motion in the arm that inhibits the performance of everyday tasks.
- You experience ongoing chronic inflammation and stiffness that doesn’t improve with therapy.
- You suffer from degenerative changes or tears of the bone and joints in the imaging tests (MRI and X rays).
- You have endured several months of ineffective conservative treatment.
In this scenario, shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder replacement, or rotator cuff repair may be necessary and may be the only possible procedures to restore your shoulder function and and relieve your pain.
Shoulder Surgeries that Dr. Abhinandan Performs
Dr. Abhinandan Punit is an orthopedic and joint replacement surgeon in JP Nagar. He is known for performing procedures that are minimally invasive and provide lasting results, in addition to improving recovery time. Dr. Abhinandan performs the following:
1. Shoulder Arthroscopy
This is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera is inserted through the shoulder to diagnose and treat a rotator cuff or labral tear and shoulder impingement.
Benefits: This procedure is associated with a soreness, is associated with quick recovery and entails small incisions.
2. Rotator Cuff Repair
This procedure repairs the ruptured tendons of the shoulder. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Abhinandan re attaches the tendons to restore strength and motion to the shoulder.
Ideal for active individuals and athletes with tendon injuries.
3. Shoulder Replacement Surgery
One of the most effective methods to deal with irrevocably damaged shoulder joints and with most advanced stage shoulder arthritis is by carrying out arthroplasty or shoulder replacement surgery.
During shoulder replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder are replaced with plastic and metal prosthetic implants, which allow the prosthetic to move with the natural motions of the shoulder.
Types of Shoulder Replacement
There are different shoulder prosthetics available as options, such as:
- Total Shoulder Replacement: both the ball and socket are replaced.
- Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): only the ball component gets replaced.
- Reverse Shoulder Replacement: different from the others as it involves the artificial ball and socket components being positioned in reverse to one another for added stability. This is particularly helpful for patients who also have torn rotator cuff tendons.
One of the best shoulder replacement surgeons, known for his meticulous alignment and the use of advanced prosthetic materials, is Dr. Abhinandan from JP Nagar. He consistently achieves outstanding results, particularly in the long term, and restores composite natural functions.
