Advanced Shoulder Surgery
Replacement, Arthroscopy, and Rotator Cuff Repair — Expert Care in Surat
Our specialised shoulder program restores range of motion and strength, treating everything from complex fractures and arthritis to sports injuries, backed by dedicated rehabilitation.
Shoulder Surgery Overview
Shivaan Hospital specialises in comprehensive shoulder care, from minimally invasive arthroscopy for sports injuries to complex anatomic and reverse total shoulder replacements for arthritis and cuff tear arthropathy.
Rotator Cuff Repair
We primarily use arthroscopic techniques to repair torn rotator cuff tendons, re-attaching them to the bone through small incisions. This preserves muscle, reduces pain, and facilitates a structured rehabilitation program for optimal recovery.
We treat both traumatic and degenerative tears, focusing on securing the repair and promoting biological healing to regain overhead motion.

Total Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement is appropriate for severe arthritis, trauma, or failed prior surgery. We offer Anatomic Total Shoulder Replacement (for intact rotator cuffs) and Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement (for cuff tear arthropathy or complex fractures) to relieve pain and restore movement.
Precise pre-operative planning ensures optimal implant positioning and long-term joint function.

We treat chronic shoulder instability and recurrent dislocations, often with arthroscopic labral repair (Bankart repair) or capsular procedures. For severe bone loss or failed prior surgery, open procedures like the Latarjet are performed.
The goal is a stable, functional shoulder suitable for high-demand activities.

Complex Trauma & Fracture Care
Our trauma service manages complex fractures of the proximal humerus, clavicle, and scapula. Treatment ranges from internal fixation to acute hemiarthroplasty or reverse replacement for highly comminuted fractures in older patients.
Rapid assessment and surgical planning help restore alignment and function.

How long is rehabilitation after a rotator cuff repair?
Rehabilitation usually includes 4–6 weeks in a sling followed by monitored physiotherapy. Full functional recovery often takes 4–6 months depending on tear size and adherence.
What is the difference between Anatomic and Reverse replacement?
Anatomic replacement suits intact rotator cuffs. Reverse replacement is for irreparable cuff tears (cuff tear arthropathy) or complex fractures — it relies on the deltoid muscle for movement.
Can all shoulder problems be treated arthroscopically?
Not all. Arthroscopy is ideal for soft tissue issues (cuff, labrum). Severe bone loss, massive fractures, and some revisions need open surgery or replacement.
