Shoulder impingement, Rotator cuff tears, Slap lesions, Acromio-Clavicular arthritis, Recurrent dislocations are some of the conditions treated by Shoulder surgeon at Venkataeswara hospital.
These complaints although widely prevalent in the society were not diagnosed clinically for want of experienced clinicians. Shoulder surgery has been a neglected sub specialty.
The first case of Shoulder arthroscopy in the city of Chennai was performed way back in the year 2000 at a corporate hospital by the surgeon. The diagnosis was internal impingement in a school teacher.
Shoulder problems are coomon in the aged and middle aged patients. Rotator cuff tears are as common as grey hair. Diabetics invariably suffer from frozen shoulder. Middle aged women develop acute Calcific tendonitis. Young sportsmen have developed recurrent dislocations.
Expert anesthetic management has made a world of difference in the effective perfomance of surgery. Regional blocks, Hypotensive anesthesia, have contributed to the success of surgery.
Says Mr.Viswa Kumar a patient from Shanghai, China, I was pleased with the rational approach to my problem, and the excellent standard of care.
Mr.Dave Hurd from North Carolina who had a partial rotator cuff tear repaired in December 2005 found the standard surpassing US levels with a personalised touch. Economics was the main factor for Mr.James Spark, a mountaineer from Colorado. He had double orthopaedic sugery in February this year.
