Our Shoulder Joint Surgery Process

  1. Consultation and Evaluation: The shoulder joint surgery process begins with a comprehensive evaluation conducted by our expert orthopedic specialists. A personalized treatment plan is created considering the condition of your shoulder joint, your symptoms, overall health status, and treatment expectations. In this phase, the condition of your shoulder joint is thoroughly examined using X-rays, MRI, and other imaging methods.

  2. Surgical Planning: After evaluation, the most appropriate surgical plan for you is developed. Shoulder joint surgery includes various methods such as shoulder prosthesis (total or partial), arthroscopic surgery, rotator cuff repair, and labrum repair. The surgical planning is customized according to the patient’s needs and condition.

  3. Surgical Intervention: Shoulder joint surgery is generally performed under general or regional anesthesia. Our expert surgeons carefully apply the chosen surgical method:

    • Shoulder Prosthesis: Replacement of the severely damaged or arthritic shoulder joint with a new joint made of metal and plastic components.
    • Arthroscopic Surgery: Repair of issues within the shoulder joint using small incisions and a camera (rotator cuff tears, labrum tears, etc.).
    • Rotator Cuff Repair: Repair of the rotator cuff muscles and tendons in the shoulder.
    • Labrum Repair: Repair of the shoulder joint labrum.

  4. Recovery and Follow-Up: The recovery process starts in the hospital after the surgical intervention, and patients are monitored regularly. During the recovery process, we provide recommendations on physical therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle changes. Mild discomfort and swelling may occur for the first few weeks. Regular follow-ups are conducted to monitor the recovery process and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
