Shoulder Tendon Reconstruction in Turkey
Shoulder Tendon Reconstruction is a procedure used to treat shoulder tendon related disorders. The patient will be put under regional or general anaesthesia in this procedure. The doctor will reconstruct the tendon if required by either re-sowing a broken tendon together, re-attaching the tendon to the surrounding tissue and/or bone, or reconstructing the tendon with another graft. The procedure can be conducted arthroscopically or by open surgery.
You need surgery if,
- Your shoulder hasn’t improved after 6 to 12 months
- You’ve lost a lot of strength in your shoulder and find it painful to move
- You have a tear in your rotator cuff tendon
- You’re active and rely on your shoulder strength for your job or to play sports
Arthroscopic repair. After making one or two very small cuts in your skin, a surgeon will insert a tiny camera called an arthroscope and special, thin tools into your shoulder. These will let him see which parts of your rotator cuff are damaged and how best to fix them.
Open tendon repair. This surgery has been around a long time. It was the first technique used to repair the rotator cuff. If you have a tear that’s very large or complex, your surgeon may choose this method.
