Terminate shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tear with Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.. Smaller incision,

Accidents

• A fall where the person holds out a stretched arm
• A shoulder crash against the floor causing the muscles and tendons to retract severely

Degeneration of a ligament

• Repetitive use of the shoulder or improper shoulder movement over time
• Advancing age that results in reduced blood supply to the injured ligament and the self-healing process becomes constrained.
• Bone spurs on the top of the shoulder bone rub against the tendon, creating friction between the bone and tendon. Eventually, a partial or complete tear may occur.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair at Bangkok Hospital

• As a minimally invasive surgery, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is performed through small incisions. An arthroscope (small camera) is inserted through a small incision in the shoulder. Then tiny instruments are inserted into small incisions to repair torn ligament and/or remove bone spurs and reattach the tendon to the upper arm bone.
• Minimized damages to the surrounding tissues with less blood loss.
• Few postoperative complications and infection rates.
• Rehabilitation can be started on the first day after surgery.
• Fast recovery with a full range of motion.

Before surgery

• All patient information is given including how surgery is performed, advanced technology used for the surgery, possible complications and rehabilitation after surgery
• Physical examination thoroughly performed by an expert specialist.
• Laboratory tests based on expert recommendations.
• Medical clearance conducted by an expert specialist and patient preparation before surgery, e.g. skin care, oral and dental care, urinary system, body weight and regular medications taken by the patient.
• Bangkok Academy of Sports and Exercise Medicine (BASEM) is FIFA Medical Centers of Excellence demonstrating expertise in advanced surgery in sports medicine, especially arthroscopic procedures. Moreover, BASEM has been certified as AFC Medical Center of Excellence (AMCE) supported by cutting-edge technology with rehabilitation program designed for sports injuries.

 

After surgery

• Postoperative care provided by orthopedic surgeons highly specialized in arthroscopic surgery (knee and shoulder) and multidisciplinary team.
• Effective pain management using appropriate pain medications.
• Monitoring and managing possible postoperative complications.
• Using shockwave therapy in which a high-intensity sound wave is transmitted from a probe through the skin where it interacts with the injured part and breaks up calcium deposits, resulting in enhanced blood circulation and reduced inflammation while strengthening the surrounding muscles and tissues, eradicating pain and improving range of motion.
• Using ERAS Program (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) as a multimodal operative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery by multidisciplinary team, e.g. surgeon, anesthesiologist, rehabilitation specialist, physiotherapist, internal medicine doctor, specialized nurse, clinical pharmacist and dietician.
• Return to Sports Program to ensure physical fitness and readiness before getting back on track
