Procedures

Procedures Offered

Rotator Cuff Replacement Labrum SLAP Arthroscopy

Rotator Cuff Repair

Rotator cuff repair reattaches torn tendon to the humeral head using suture anchors, most often through an arthroscopic approach. The procedure relieves pain, restores overhead strength, and prevents further tear progression. Success rates reach 85-95% for small-to-medium tears when combined with dedicated rehabilitation.

Success rate: 85-95% | Technique: Arthroscopic or mini-open | Recovery: 4-6 months

Labrum Repair

Labrum repair surgery reattaches the torn fibrocartilage rim of the shoulder socket using arthroscopic suture anchors. The procedure stabilizes the joint, eliminates catching and clicking, and allows return to overhead sports. Bankart repair addresses anterior instability, while posterior and combined repairs target multi-directional damage.

Technique: Arthroscopic | Return to sport: 4-6 months | Success rate: 88-95%

Shoulder Replacement

Shoulder replacement (arthroplasty) replaces damaged bone and cartilage with metal and polyethylene components. Anatomic replacement preserves the natural ball-and-socket orientation, while reverse replacement switches them for patients with deficient rotator cuffs. Modern implants provide 15-25 years of reliable pain relief.

Pain relief: 90%+ | Implant lifespan: 15-25 years | Recovery: 6-12 months
