Shoulder Arthroscopy in Dubai – Expert Care for Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and instability, affecting your ability to perform daily activities and sports. For patients in Dubai, shoulder arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive surgical solution to diagnose and treat shoulder problems effectively. At Dubai Sports Surgery, Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla, a British-trained orthopedic and sports surgeon, provides world-class shoulder arthroscopy in Dubai, helping patients regain mobility, strength, and confidence.

What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a keyhole surgical procedure that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) and small instruments inserted through minor incisions to:

Diagnose shoulder problems
Repair damaged tendons and ligaments
Restore shoulder stability and mobility

Compared to open surgery, arthroscopic shoulder surgery offers:

Smaller incisions
Faster recovery
Less scarring
Reduced risk of complications

Conditions Treated with Shoulder Arthroscopy

Dr. Konchwalla performs shoulder arthroscopy in Dubai to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Rotator Cuff Tears – Repairing torn tendons.
Shoulder Instability – Repairing ligaments to prevent dislocation.
Labral Tears (SLAP lesions) – Reattaching torn cartilage around the shoulder socket.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – Releasing stiff shoulder tissue.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome – Relieving pain from trapped tendons.
Arthritis & Cartilage Damage – Cleaning and smoothing joint surfaces.
Loose Bodies in Shoulder Joint – Removing bone/cartilage fragments causing locking or pain.

Why Choose Shoulder Arthroscopy Over Open Surgery?

Minimally invasive – small incisions instead of large cuts
Day-care surgery – most patients discharged the same day
Faster rehabilitation – return to sports and activities quickly
Less pain & scarring compared to open shoulder surgery
High success rate – reliable results with proper rehabilitation

Especially for athletes, arthroscopic surgery is the preferred method for treating complex shoulder injuries.

The Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure

Pre-operative Evaluation Physical examination & MRI scans confirm the exact problem.
Anesthesia General or regional anesthesia is administered.
Arthroscopic Surgery Small incisions (5–10 mm) are made around the shoulder. Arthroscope inserted to view inside the joint. Specialized instruments used for repair (rotator cuff, labrum, ligaments).
Closure & Recovery Incisions closed with stitches or adhesive strips. Arm placed in a sling for protection.

Duration: 1–2 hours Hospital Stay: Same-day discharge or overnight stay

Recovery After Shoulder Arthroscopy

Recovery depends on the type of repair but generally follows this timeline:

1–2 Weeks: Pain/swelling reduce, start gentle movements.
2–6 Weeks: Gradual physiotherapy for mobility.
6–12 Weeks: Strengthening exercises begin.
3–6 Months: Return to sports and high-demand activities.

Dr. Konchwalla designs a personalized rehabilitation program for each patient to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
