Overview

Best Shoulder Arthroscopy Treatment by Dr. Venugopal T in Bangalore

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint conditions, including rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, impingement syndrome, and labral injuries. The procedure is performed using small incisions and advanced arthroscopic instruments, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery compared to open shoulder surgery.

Under the expert care of Dr. Venugopal T, shoulder arthroscopy focuses on precise diagnosis, targeted treatment, and restoration of shoulder function. Each treatment plan is personalized based on the patient’s condition, activity level, and recovery goals, supported by structured rehabilitation for optimal long-term outcomes.
