About Arthroscopic Frozen Shoulder Surgery at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
Frozen shoulder is a condition that is generally treatable through conservative methods such as medication and physiotherapy. However, not all patients respond positively to these treatments. If symptoms persist, dr. Troy may recommend a minimally invasive surgical procedure known as shoulder arthroscopy capsular release.
dr. Troy is highly skilled in performing this procedure to treat frozen shoulder. The technique involves making a small incision—approximately 1 cm—in the shoulder area to release the tight tissue responsible for the stiffness and pain.
The procedure is also aided by a pencil-sized camera, allowing the surgeon to clearly view the inside of the shoulder, resulting in a precise and targeted operation.
During the surgery, dr. Troy removes adhesions in the joint capsule, enabling the shoulder to move more freely again. The results are often noticeable quickly. In many cases, patients are able to start moving, lifting, and rotating their shoulder comfortably not long after surgery.
Within a few weeks post-operation, pain caused by frozen shoulder typically decreases, and patients often notice significant improvement in arm mobility.
