Upper Limb — Keyhole Surgery
Shoulder Arthroscopy in Hyderabad
Keyhole shoulder surgery for labrum tears, instability, cuff tears and impingement—how it works, when it helps, and recovery done right.
When keyhole helps
Indications
- Recurrent instability or dislocation (Bankart lesion, capsular laxity).
- Labrum tears (Bankart/SLAP), biceps problems.
- Rotator cuff tears (partial or full) suited to arthroscopic repair.
- Impingement or subacromial bursitis requiring decompression (SAD).
What’s typically done
Arthroscopic procedures
- Bankart repair and capsular plication for instability.
- SLAP repair or biceps tenodesis for superior labrum issues.
- Rotator cuff repair with anchors; subacromial decompression for impingement.
- Labral debridement/repair when tissue allows restoration.
How the surgery runs
Procedure & planning
- Day-care anaesthesia (often with nerve block) plus small portals for camera and instruments.
- Targeted repair/debridement based on intra-op findings.
- Ports closed; sling for comfort; early guided rehab starts.
Rehab roadmap
Recovery timeline
| Phase | Weeks | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort & protect | 0–2 | Sling, passive ROM, hand/wrist/elbow movement |
| Motion | 3–6 | Active-assisted → active ROM, light isometrics |
| Strength | 6–12 | Cuff, deltoid, scapular control; functional drills |
| Return | 3–6 months | Work/sport depending on procedure & tissue quality |
Your exact pace depends on the procedure performed and tissue healing. Follow your surgeon and physiotherapist’s plan.

What patients ask
Shoulder arthroscopy — FAQs
Is arthroscopy always better than open?
Not always. It’s the right tool for many labrum, cuff and impingement problems. Bone-loss instability may need open procedures such as Latarjet.
How painful is recovery?
Nerve block and modern pain control improve comfort. Pain typically tapers over the first weeks with graded rehab.
When can I drive?
After the initial sling phase, once off strong pain meds and safe control returns — your surgeon will clear this.
