Treatment of Shoulder Arthritis
Non-Surgical Treatment
For initial stages Dr. Abhijit Ranaware will advise pain medicine and functional physiotherapy to increase strength of muscle around joint and restore movement.
Surgical treatment:
Joint replacement in not a good option in younger patients with shoulder arthritis as the artificial joints lasts for 10-15 year. So in younger patients joint preservation treatment is offered by Dr. Abhijit Ranaware.
Dr. Abhijit Ranaware is highly experienced in treating young patients with shoulder arthritis with minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. He will remove the tissue causing pain- (pain generators) like inflamed bursa, biceps tendon, loose bodies , release tight capsule and nerves close to joint and excised bony spurs (osteophytes) impinging over tendons. In case of associated AC joint arthritis, Dr. Abhijit Ranaware will remove outer end of collar bone to reduce pain secondary to joint degeneration and flattened the under surface of acromion impinging on rotator cuff tendons (Acromioplasty).
Surgical treatment
Older patient worn-off cartilage is replaced with artificial ball and socket joint for smoother movements and pain relief. Depending on the cause of arthritis (primary or secondary) Dr. Abhijit Ranaware may advice Anatomical Total Shoulder Replacement or Reverse Shoulder Replacement (for Rotator Cuff Arthropathy).
