Shoulder Surgery
Rotator cuff repair, Bankart stabilisation, and shoulder replacement — arthroscopic and open techniques tailored to your specific shoulder condition.
What is Shoulder Surgery?
Shoulder surgery covers a range of procedures from arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Bankart stabilisation for instability, to the Latarjet procedure for recurrent dislocations and shoulder replacement for severe arthritis. Dr. Satish Reddy performs both arthroscopic and open shoulder procedures, tailoring the technique to the specific pathology, severity, and the patient's activity demands.
Arthroscopic or open technique is selected based on the severity of the tear and bone loss — Dr. Satish Reddy will advise the most appropriate approach after imaging review.
Key Information
Procedure Facts
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure, SLAP repair, total shoulder replacement.
Suture anchors inserted into bone to reattach torn tendons or labrum under arthroscopic vision.
General anaesthesia with interscalene nerve block for post-operative pain control; 1–2 hour procedure.
Day-care or 1-night admission; arm in a sling post-operatively.
Sling for 6 weeks; physiotherapy starts within 48 hours; full strength at 4–6 months.
Bankart repair reduces recurrence to <5%; Latarjet provides additional bone block stability.
How the Procedure Works
Consultation & MRI Assessment
Clinical shoulder examination and MRI review to determine the exact pathology and most appropriate surgical technique.
Pre-operative Planning
Physiotherapy to maintain range of motion; nerve block consent and anaesthesia review.
Arthroscopic or Open Surgery
Depending on the procedure, suture anchors are used to repair the rotator cuff or labrum under arthroscopic vision — typically 1–2 hours.
Sling & Rehabilitation
Shoulder sling worn for 6 weeks. Progressive physiotherapy restores strength and overhead function over 4–6 months.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →
Full or partial thickness rotator cuff tears causing pain and weakness
- →
Recurrent shoulder dislocation with Bankart labral tear
- →
Shoulder instability with significant bone loss requiring Latarjet

The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. Getting it right means understanding not just the tear, but the patient's sport, occupation, and goals — surgery is only successful when it returns people to the life they want.
