Shoulder Arthroscopy in Ghaziabad – Minimally Invasive Surgery for Shoulder Pain & Injuries
Shoulder arthroscopy is a modern surgical technique that has transformed the way doctors treat shoulder problems, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. It is particularly effective for conditions such as persistent shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, dislocations, and joint degeneration.
By using a tiny camera and precision surgical instruments inserted through small incisions, this procedure enables faster healing, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to daily activities.
In Ghaziabad and across Delhi NCR, Dr. Himanshu Gupta is one of the most trusted orthopedic surgeons and shoulder specialists, known for his expertise in arthroscopic techniques. His patient-focused approach, accurate diagnosis, and personalized rehabilitation plans ensure the best possible recovery and long-term results.
What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy involves inserting an arthroscope — a thin, tube-like camera — into the shoulder joint through small incisions. This device projects a detailed view of the joint onto a monitor, allowing the surgeon to assess damage and perform repairs with specialized instruments.
Benefits of the Minimally Invasive Approach
Because the incisions are small, arthroscopy offers several advantages over open surgery:
- Less tissue damage – Minimal disruption to muscles and tendons.
- Reduced pain and swelling – Faster recovery with less discomfort.
- Shorter healing time – Quicker return to normal activities.
- Smaller scars – Minimal cosmetic impact.
Notice the Signs Before It’s Serious
Know the signs of shoulder arthroscopy before it’s too late.
Sudden Knee Pain or Swelling
Sharp pain or visible swelling develops shortly after a fall, heavy lift, or sudden arm movement.
A Sharp “Pop” Sound
You may feel or hear a click/popping sound when moving the arm, especially during overhead activities.
Instability in the Knee
Your shoulder may feel loose, like it could slip out of place, or be unable to bear weight during lifting or rotation.
Common Shoulder Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
Dr. Himanshu Gupta uses shoulder arthroscopy to manage a wide range of injuries and degenerative conditions:
- Rotator cuff tears (partial or complete)
- Labral tears – Including SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior) tears
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Bone spurs – That irritate or damage surrounding tissues
- Shoulder instability and recurrent dislocations
- Tendonitis – Inflammation of tendons from overuse or injury
Cartilage injuries – Due to trauma or arthritis
ACL Injury & Reconstruction Surgery
Expertise in Rotator Cuff Repair

Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Common steps in treatment include:

Arthroscopic Repair – Through keyhole incisions, the surgeon repairs torn ligaments, tendons, or removes loose cartilage.
Immobilization – A sling may be worn for 1–3 weeks to protect the repaired tissues.
Pain & Swelling Management – Ice therapy, prescribed medications, and rest to control discomfort.
Physiotherapy – Gradual exercises to restore flexibility, followed by strengthening to ensure joint stability.
Important: Following the rehab plan strictly is crucial for full recovery and to prevent future injuries.

Recovery After Shoulder Arthroscopy
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure performed, the patient’s age, and overall health.
Typical Recovery Timeline
- Week 1–2 – Sling support, pain control, and gentle range-of-motion exercises to prevent stiffness.
Week 3–6 – Begin physiotherapy under expert supervision to restore movement.
Month 2–3 – Focus on strengthening shoulder muscles and improving mobility.
Month 4–6 – Gradual return to sports, lifting, and unrestricted activities.

COST OF SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY
The cost of shoulder arthroscopy depends on the complexity of the injury, the specific repairs required, the surgeon’s expertise, and the length of hospital stay.

At Amicare, we offer transparent and personalized cost estimates tailored to your diagnosis and treatment plan.
RECOVERY & PREVENTION TIPS AFTER SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY
After shoulder arthroscopy, following your physiotherapist’s rehabilitation plan is essential for regaining strength and mobility.

Frequently Asked Question
Dr. Himanshu Gupta is highly recommended for his expertise in minimally invasive shoulder surgeries, personalized treatment plans, and proven patient outcomes.
Pain after the surgery is usually mild to moderate and is well-managed with medications and physiotherapy. Most patients report significant relief compared to their pre-surgery discomfort.
Anterior shoulder dislocation accounts for around 90% of all cases.
It can treat rotator cuff tears, labral tears, frozen shoulder, bone spurs, recurrent dislocations, tendonitis, and cartilage damage.
In some cases, rest, physiotherapy, and medication can help. However, for severe injuries or when conservative treatments fail, shoulder arthroscopy may be the best option for long-term relief.
