Shoulder Ligament & Tendon Injuries
Damage to shoulder ligaments, biceps or rotator cuff tendons causing pain, weakness and restricted arm movement. Effectively treated using modern arthroscopic shoulder techniques.
ABOUT THIS CONDITION
What is Shoulder Ligament & Tendon Injuries?
Shoulder ligament and tendon injuries commonly affect the rotator cuff, biceps tendon or shoulder capsule due to overuse, sports activity or trauma. They cause pain, weakness, restricted movement and difficulty lifting, reaching overhead or sleeping on the affected side comfortably. Dr. Bathini Hithesh treats these conditions using advanced arthroscopic and mini-open techniques, restoring strength and pain-free movement.

HOW WE TREAT IT
Treatment Approach
Arthroscopic Shoulder Repair
Dr. Hithesh performs advanced arthroscopic shoulder repair to fix torn rotator cuff, biceps and capsular injuries through tiny incisions — offering minimal pain, faster healing and excellent functional restoration.
- 1
Clinical Assessment
Dr. Hithesh evaluates shoulder strength, range and impingement signs, supported by MRI for accurate tear identification and surgical planning.
- 2
Treatment Planning
Conservative or surgical approach is chosen based on tear size, age, activity level and overall functional demand of the patient.
- 3
Arthroscopic Repair
Through keyhole incisions, torn tendons or ligaments are reattached using suture anchors, restoring strength and pain-free shoulder movement.
- 4
Guided Rehabilitation
Structured physiotherapy, sling support and gradual strengthening protocol ensure full functional recovery within three to four months.
AVAILABLE TREATMENTS
Treatment Options
Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis / Tenotomy
Keyhole release or reattachment of damaged biceps tendon, relieving anterior shoulder pain and restoring smooth shoulder motion.
Mini-Open / Open Rotator Cuff Repair
Repair of large or complex rotator cuff tears through small or open incisions, securing tendons firmly to bone.
Superior Capsular Reconstruction
Graft reconstruction of the upper shoulder capsule for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears, restoring stability and reducing pain.
Subacromial Decompression / Acromioplasty
Arthroscopic shaving of inflamed tissue and bone spurs, relieving impingement and creating space for cuff tendons.
Rotator Cuff Repair
Arthroscopic reattachment of torn shoulder tendons using suture anchors, restoring strength, motion and pain-free shoulder use.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive keyhole procedure to diagnose and treat tears, instability and impingement inside the shoulder joint.
