Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair | Turan & Turan Clinic, Turkey

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive procedure performed to repair tears in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. These tears can result from injury, overuse, or degeneration over time. The procedure is designed to reattach the torn tendon to the bone, restoring stability and function to the shoulder. It is usually recommended for individuals with persistent pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder who do not respond to conservative treatment such as rest, physical therapy, and medication. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair aims to relieve pain, improve shoulder function, and prevent further damage to the joint. During arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff, the patient is put under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions around the shoulder and inserts an arthroscope, a thin tube with a camera, to visualize the inside of the joint. The surgeon cuts and prepares the damaged tendon and bone for repair using special tools. Sutures are then used to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. The patient is usually sent home shortly with instructions for postoperative care, including pain relief, immobilization of the shoulder in a sling, and a prescribed physical therapy program to aid in recovery and rehabilitation. Thanks to the team's many years of experience and adherence to high safety standards, the risk of complications such as infection, nerve damage, and permanent pain is minimized. The clinic prefers minimally invasive treatment methods, including arthroscopic procedures, which offer many advantages over open surgery and allow patients to recover quickly with optimal aesthetic results. After the procedure, patients are usually monitored briefly in the recovery room before being discharged home. They are provided with instructions for post-operative care, including pain management, shoulder immobilization with a sling, and a prescribed physical therapy program to aid in recovery and rehabilitation.
