Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgeon in Bangalore - Dr. Pradyumna R
Shoulder arthroscopy is a sophisticated, minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat a spectrum of shoulder joint disorders. As a leading shoulder arthroscopy surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Pradyumna R utilizes advanced "keyhole" technology to restore joint function with minimal tissue disruption.
By inserting an ultra-high-definition camera (arthroscope) through tiny incisions, Dr. Pradyumna achieves a magnified view of the joint. This allows for precision repair targeting the root cause of pain without the recovery hurdles of traditional open surgery.
Why Choose Dr. Pradyumna for Shoulder Surgery?
If you are looking for a frozen shoulder specialist in Bangalore or a surgeon for complex reconstructions, Dr. Pradyumna offers expert solutions for:
- Rotator cuff repair surgery Bangalore: Fixing partial and full-thickness tendon tears to restore strength.
- Shoulder dislocation surgery Bangalore: Comprehensive stabilization for recurrent instability.
- Bankart repair surgery Bangalore: Reattaching the labrum to prevent the shoulder from popping out.
- Shoulder Impingement: Subacromial decompression to remove bone spurs.
- Frozen Shoulder: Arthroscopic capsular release for those failing to improve with physiotherapy.
Bankart Repair Surgery in Bangalore - Stop Recurrent Dislocations
Recurrent shoulder dislocation is more than just painful; it causes progressive damage to the bone and cartilage. When the shoulder pops out of its socket, it usually tears the labrum (the cartilage rim). This is known as a Bankart lesion.
For young, active individuals, the risk of a second dislocation can be as high as 90% without surgical intervention. Bankart repair surgery in Bangalore is the gold standard for stabilizing the joint. Dr. Pradyumna reattaches the torn labrum to the glenoid bone using bio-absorbable suture anchors, protecting the joint from long-term arthritis.
Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery in Bangalore
A torn rotator cuff can make simple tasks like lifting your arm or sleeping on your side impossible. Dr. Pradyumna specializes in rotator cuff repair surgery in Bangalore, utilizing all-arthroscopic techniques. This results in less post-operative pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to daily activities compared to traditional open methods.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement Surgeon in Bangalore
For patients with cuff tear arthropathy, a combination of severe arthritis and irreparable rotator cuff tears, traditional replacement may not work.
As a specialized reverse shoulder replacement surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Pradyumna performs this advanced procedure that switches the ball-and-socket positions. This allows the deltoid muscle to lift the arm, bypassing the damaged tendons and providing a pain-free range of motion for elderly patients or those with complex fractures.
Recovery Journey: What to Expect
Dr. Pradyumna's protocols prioritize early mobilization and pain management.

Yes. Most corporate and private health insurance policies (Star, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, etc.) cover Bankart repair and rotator cuff surgeries as they are considered essential medical procedures.

Q6. Is there a difference between keyhole surgery and shoulder arthroscopy?
No, they are the same. Shoulder arthroscopy is the medical term for what is commonly known as keyhole surgery. As a shoulder arthroscopy surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Pradyumna uses this method to operate through incisions smaller than 1 cm. This technique is preferred over open surgery because it causes significantly less damage to the surrounding muscles, reduces the risk of infection, and leaves minimal scarring.

The success rate for rotator cuff repair surgery in Bangalore under Dr. Pradyumna's care is exceptionally high, with over 90% of patients reporting significant pain relief and restored shoulder function. Success depends on the size of the tear and the patient's commitment to the post-operative physiotherapy program. Using the latest double-row repair techniques, Dr. Pradyumna ensures a stronger mechanical fix, reducing the chances of a re-tear.
