Better Movement. Better Life.
Your shoulders are among the most mobile and complex joints in your body, allowing you to reach, lift, throw, and perform countless daily activities. When shoulder pain strikes due to injury, overuse, or degenerative conditions, it can severely limit your independence and quality of life. Simple tasks like combing your hair, reaching for a high shelf, or even getting a good night's sleep can become painful challenges.
At Dr. Ulhas Sonar's Orthopaedic Clinic, we specialize in advanced shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroscopy. Our goal is to provide you with Better Movement and ultimately, a Better Life. By combining expert surgical skill with minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, we offer Advanced Care, ensure a Faster Recovery, and deliver Better Outcomes for our patients.
Understanding Shoulder Conditions
We diagnose and treat a wide range of shoulder conditions, including:
Rotator Cuff Tears: The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint. Tears can occur from acute injury, repetitive overhead motion, or age-related degeneration, causing pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A condition where the rotator cuff tendons become pinched or compressed between the bones of the shoulder, leading to pain during lifting or reaching movements.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often developing gradually and severely restricting movement.
Shoulder Instability & Dislocation: When the head of the upper arm bone slips out of the shoulder socket, often due to trauma or repetitive strain, leading to recurrent dislocations and a feeling of looseness.
SLAP Tears: A tear in the ring of cartilage (labrum) that surrounds the shoulder socket, often caused by repetitive overhead motions or a fall on an outstretched arm.
Shoulder Arthritis: Wear-and-tear of the cartilage in the shoulder joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Our Surgical Services
Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability. Our approach to rotator cuff repair is advanced and precise. Using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, Dr. Sonar makes small incisions and inserts a tiny camera (arthroscope) to visualize the tear. He then uses specialized instruments to reattach the torn tendon to the bone using suture anchors. This meticulous repair restores the integrity of the rotator cuff, reduces pain, and restores strength and function. The arthroscopic approach means less tissue damage, less pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Shoulder Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery)
Shoulder arthroscopy is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Sonar to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder conditions with exceptional precision. Through small “keyhole“ incisions, an arthroscope is inserted to provide a clear view of the inside of your joint. Specialized instruments are then used to perform procedures such as:
Repairing torn rotator cuffs
Trimming or repairing torn labrum (SLAP repairs)
Removing bone spurs or inflamed tissue
Treating shoulder impingement
Stabilizing recurrent dislocations
Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy:
Smaller Incisions: Minimal scarring
Less Pain: Reduced post-operative discomfort
Lower Infection Risk: Less exposure of the joint
Faster Recovery: Quicker return to daily activities and sports
Outpatient Procedure: Many patients can go home the same day
Shoulder Replacement (Arthroplasty)
For patients with severe shoulder arthritis or irreparable rotator cuff tears, shoulder replacement surgery may be the best option. We offer both total shoulder replacement (replacing both the ball and socket) and reverse shoulder replacement (for patients with non-functioning rotator cuffs). Using advanced implant technology and precise surgical techniques, we aim to eliminate pain and restore pain-free movement.
Your Journey to Recovery
Consultation & Diagnosis:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sonar. He will review your medical history, perform a thorough physical examination, and use advanced imaging (X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound) to accurately diagnose your condition. He will discuss all treatment options, from non-surgical therapies to surgical intervention, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals.
Surgical Procedure:
Whenever possible, Dr. Sonar utilizes arthroscopic techniques for shoulder surgery. This minimally invasive approach ensures the highest precision with the least disruption to your body. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and our dedicated team ensures your comfort and safety throughout.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation:
Recovery from shoulder surgery requires a dedicated rehabilitation program. Our team of physiotherapists
