Arthroscopic Treatment for Weight Lifters

We provide arthroscopic treatment for weight lifters in South Delhi, Our arthroscopic Surgeon uses a camera -- called an arthroscope -- to look inside the shoulder joint through small cuts (incisions) in the skin. Anesthesia is used during the procedure, so you won't feel any pain during the operation. However, post-surgery pain can occur and will usually be managed with a combination of narcotics, ice, and physical therapy.

The surgeon inserts the arthroscope into one of the incisions, and a saline solution is pumped into the joint to expand it and improve visualization. The surgeon can then locate and repair any damaged tissue, such as a tear in a tendon. After repairing the tissue, the surgeon drains the saline solution and closes the incisions with sutures.

What is Arthroscopic treatment for a weightlifter's shoulder ?

Arthroscopic treatment for a weightlifter's shoulder typically involves addressing shoulder injuries and conditions that result from the repetitive stress and strain associated with weightlifting. Weightlifters are prone to a range of shoulder problems, including rotator cuff injuries, labral tears, impingement syndrome, and overuse injuries. Arthroscopic surgery can be an effective approach to diagnose and treat these conditions while minimizing tissue damage and promoting quicker recovery. Here's an overview of the procedure:

• Diagnosis : Before surgery, a thorough evaluation is conducted to determine the exact nature and extent of the shoulder problem. This may involve physical examinations, imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scans), and discussions with the patient to understand their symptoms and history.
• Anesthesia: Arthroscopic frozen shoulder release is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep and feel no pain during the procedure.
• Arthroscopic Access: The surgeon makes small incisions around the shoulder joint and inserts an arthroscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source, through one of the incisions. The arthroscope allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the shoulder joint on a monitor.
• Treatment Depending on the specific condition, the surgeon may perform various arthroscopic procedures, including:
  • Rotator cuff repair - If there is a torn rotator cuff, the surgeon can use small instruments to repair the tear.
  • Labral repair - Labral tears, common among weightlifters, can be addressed by reattaching or trimming the torn labrum.
  • Debridement - In cases of impingement syndrome or overuse injuries, the surgeon may remove damaged tissue and bone spurs to relieve pressure on the shoulder structures.
• Closure : After completing the necessary repairs or procedures, the surgeon closes the small incisions with sutures or adhesive strips.
• Recovery : Rehabilitation is a crucial part of the recovery process. Weightlifters will need to follow a tailored physical therapy program to regain strength, stability, and range of motion in the shoulder. The timeline for returning to weightlifting activities will depend on the severity of the condition and the individual's progress in therapy.
