Shoulder pain is a prevalent issue arising from the intricate structure of the largest joint in the human body. Sustained by a complex interplay of muscles, bones, and ligaments, the shoulder provides an impressive range of motion and flexibility.

A variety of factors, including arthritis, dislocations, instability, fractures, bursitis, and tendinitis, contribute to shoulder pain. While initial relief can be achieved through home remedies like ice application and painkillers, persistent pain necessitates consultation with a specialist.

In cases where shoulder pain becomes unbearable, accompanied by symptoms such as the inability to rotate the shoulder, loss of sensation in the arm, and an elevated temperature, seeking advice from an Orthopaedic Specialist is crucial. Diagnosis may involve scans, and treatment options may range from medication to physiotherapy.

At Klinik Orthopedik Dinamik, our highly qualified shoulder surgeons and orthopaedic specialists in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia offer a comprehensive range of orthopaedic shoulder surgeries and treatments.

Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of bursae, fluid-filled sacs in the shoulder joints, can occur due to excessive use, leading to sharp pain, swelling, redness, stiffness, and limited joint movement. Common treatments for milder cases include rest, ice therapy, and injections, with surgical excision of the bursa being a rare necessity.

Shoulder Tendinitis: Tendinitis, inflammation of shoulder tendons, may manifest as swelling, redness, warmth, difficulty moving the shoulder, and a cracking sensation. Treatment involves a combination of rest, wrapping, ice packs, painkillers, and physical therapy. Severe cases may require shoulder surgery if symptoms persist.

Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery: When non-surgical treatments prove ineffective, consideration may be given to shoulder arthroscopy surgery. This procedure enables orthopaedic surgeons to inspect, diagnose, and address issues within the joint. Common arthroscopic procedures include rotator cuff repair, ligament repair, removal of inflamed tissue or loose cartilage, labrum repair, and recurrent shoulder dislocation repair.

Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment: Injuries to the rotator cuff, a group of tendons and muscles around the shoulder joint, may necessitate surgery. Treatment involves re-attaching torn tendons to the upper arm bone, with partial tears requiring debridement.

Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery: For severe, unresponsive shoulder pain, total shoulder replacement surgery may be recommended. This procedure entails the removal of damaged shoulder parts, replaced with artificial components or prostheses. The surgery may address either the head of the humerus bone or both the humerus bone and the socket.
