Expert Shoulder Surgery: Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery, Reverse Shoulder Replacement & Internal Fixation Surgery

Shoulder injuries and degenerative conditions can cause significant pain and limit mobility, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Fortunately, advancements in orthopaedic surgery offer effective solutions for various shoulder problems. At Shoulder Elbow, we specialize in state-of-the-art surgical treatments, including rotator cuff tear surgery, reverse shoulder replacement, and internal fixation surgery to help patients regain strength and function.


Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and enable smooth movement. Tears in the rotator cuff can occur due to injury, repetitive motion, or age-related wear and tear.

When is Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery Needed?

Patients with severe pain, weakness, or limited shoulder movement that doesn’t improve with physiotherapy may require surgical intervention. The procedure is performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques or open surgery, depending on the severity of the tear.

Types of Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery:

  • Arthroscopic Repair: A minimally invasive approach where small incisions are made, and the torn tendon is reattached using sutures.
  • Open Repair: In severe cases, a larger incision is made to fully access and repair the damaged tissue.
  • Tendon Transfer: If the tear is irreparable, a nearby tendon is moved to compensate for lost function.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Reverse shoulder replacement is an innovative procedure used to treat severe shoulder arthritis, massive rotator cuff tears, or failed previous shoulder surgeries. Unlike traditional shoulder replacements, where a metal ball is placed on the humerus and a socket on the scapula, the reverse method switches their positions.

Who Needs Reverse Shoulder Replacement?

  • Patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears leading to shoulder instability.
  • Severe arthritis that affects joint function.
  • Patients who have undergone previous shoulder surgeries without success.

Benefits of Reverse Shoulder Replacement:

✅ Restores mobility and strength ✅ Reduces chronic shoulder pain ✅ Improves overall joint stability ✅ Enables patients to perform daily activities with ease

At Shoulder Elbow, we use the latest techniques in reverse shoulder replacement to ensure optimal recovery and long-term success.

Internal Fixation Surgery for Shoulder Fractures

Fractures around the shoulder, such as clavicle fractures, proximal humerus fractures, or scapular fractures, require specialized treatment for proper healing. Internal fixation surgery is a procedure used to stabilize broken bones using metal plates, screws, or rods.

When is Internal Fixation Surgery Recommended?

  • Displaced fractures that cannot heal properly on their own.
  • Severe fractures that affect joint alignment and movement.
  • Complex fractures due to accidents, falls, or sports injuries.

Types of Internal Fixation:

  • Plates and Screws: Used to hold the fractured bone in place while it heals naturally.
  • Intramedullary Rods: Inserted into the bone canal for added support.
  • Pins and Wires: Used for small or less complex fractures.

At Shoulder Elbow, we specialize in internal fixation surgery for shoulder fractures, ensuring the best possible recovery with personalized rehabilitation plans.

Arthroscopy of the Elbow: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Elbow Pain and Injury

Image
Elbow pain can significantly limit your daily activities, from lifting and typing to simple movements like bending your arm. If conservative treatments like rest, physiotherapy, or medication haven't provided relief, arthroscopy of the elbow might be the right solution. This modern surgical technique allows for precise treatment of a wide range of elbow conditions with minimal downtime and excellent outcomes. What Is Elbow Arthroscopy? Arthroscopy of the elbow is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the elbow joint through tiny incisions. This camera projects images onto a monitor, allowing the surgeon to clearly view the inside of the joint and repair any damaged tissue. Unlike traditional open surgery, elbow arthroscopy requires only a few small incisions, leading to less pain, a quicker recovery, and reduced risk of complications. Conditions Treated with Elbow Arthroscopy Elbow arthroscopy can diagnose and treat several jo...
