Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for shoulder injuries — performed by British-trained orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla at Medcare Hospital, Dubai.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery that uses a tiny high-definition camera — an arthroscope — and precision miniature instruments inserted through small incisions of just 5 to 10 mm around the shoulder joint. This advanced innovative arthroscopy technique allows Dr. Konchwalla to visualise the interior of the shoulder with exceptional clarity, diagnose problems with accuracy that even MRI cannot always match, and treat a wide range of shoulder conditions — all without the need for a large open incision.
The shoulder is the most mobile and complex joint in the body. It is stabilised by a combination of muscles, tendons (the rotator cuff), ligaments, and a ring of cartilage called the labrum. When any of these structures are injured — whether from sport, overuse, trauma, or degeneration — the result is pain, instability, loss of strength, and restricted range of motion that can dramatically affect quality of life. As a sports medicine specialist Dubai, Dr. Konchwalla understands how sports injury treatment in Dubai requires precise diagnosis and targeted intervention.
Compared to traditional open shoulder surgery in Dubai, arthroscopy preserves the surrounding healthy tissue, significantly reduces post-operative pain and scarring, and allows patients to return to sport and daily activity much sooner. Most procedures are performed as day surgery, with the majority of patients discharged the same day. Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla's 25+ years of specialist experience and his FRCS qualifications ensure every patient receives care that meets the very highest British-trained orthopaedic & sport surgeon standards. As the best Dubai sports surgeon, he combines cutting-edge technique with compassionate patient care.

MRI scans, clinical examination, and a detailed history confirm the exact pathology. Dr. Konchwalla explains all findings, discusses options, and ensures informed consent before any procedure is planned.
General anaesthesia combined with a regional interscalene nerve block is commonly used — eliminating pain during surgery and providing excellent post-operative comfort for the first 12–18 hours.
2–3 small incisions (5–10 mm) are made around the shoulder. The arthroscope delivers HD visualisation inside the joint. Suture anchors, shavers, and specialised instruments repair, reconstruct, or decompress as required.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures. The arm is placed in a protective sling. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours from incision to closure depending on complexity.
Patients recover in the ward before same-day or next-day discharge. Written aftercare instructions, pain management guidance, and physiotherapy arrangements are all provided before leaving hospital.
Shoulder arthroscopy recovery timelines vary significantly depending on the procedure performed. Dr. Konchwalla provides every patient with a personalised rehabilitation programme, working closely with physiotherapists to optimise outcomes at every stage of recovery.
