Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Bangalore: Dr. Ponnanna K.M

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Bangalore is a modern, minimally invasive solution for patients suffering from shoulder pain, weakness, and limited mobility due to rotator cuff tears, helping them return to daily activities and sports with confidence and less downtime. This advanced procedure is performed using an arthroscope through tiny incisions, leading to precise tendon repair, reduced scarring, and quicker rehabilitation compared to traditional open surgery.


Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Bangalore

Rotator cuff tears are common in athletes and older adults, often presenting with night pain, weakness while lifting or rotating the arm, and restricted shoulder movement. Arthroscopic repair is typically recommended when conservative treatments such as rest, medications, and physiotherapy fail, or in cases of large, high-grade partial or full-thickness tears—especially with tendon retraction of ≥1cm. The procedure is also ideal for active individuals and athletes who wish to return to sports efficiently with the support of minimally invasive techniques.


How the procedure works

During arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the shoulder joint through keyhole incisions, providing a clear view of the torn tendon while specialized instruments are used to repair and reattach it to the bone. This technique minimizes tissue damage and allows targeted, accurate repair, often resulting in less pain and a smoother recovery journey.
