FAQs: Shoulder Surgery in Bangalore
1. Is SLAP tear surgery worth it for athletes in Bangalore?▾
For athletes, particularly cricketers and swimmers, conservative treatment often fails to restore explosive overhead power. Arthroscopic SLAP repair is the gold standard for returning to 100% performance. In Bangalore's sports community, Dr. Pradyumna's Elite Athlete Protocol focuses on labral stability, which is essential for high-velocity movements.
2. What is the success rate of SLAP tear surgery in India?▾
The success rate for arthroscopic SLAP repair is approximately 85% to 95% when performed by a fellowship-trained specialist. Success depends heavily on post-operative rehabilitation. Dr. Pradyumna combines German-standard surgical precision with a 6-month structured rehab roadmap to maximize these outcomes.
3. How much does SLAP tear surgery cost in Bangalore?▾
The cost typically ranges from ₹1,25,000 to ₹2,25,000, depending on the number of bio-absorbable anchors used and the choice of hospital (e.g., Manipal Hospitals). This usually includes the surgical fee, anesthesia, and premium USFDA-approved implants. Most private and corporate insurances cover the procedure fully.
4. Can a SLAP tear heal without surgery?▾
Minor (Type 1) tears often respond well to specialized physical therapy and activity modification. However, Type 2 and Type 4 tears common in gym enthusiasts and overhead athletes rarely heal on their own because the labrum has poor blood supply. Surgery is recommended when persistent clicking or instability limits your daily life.
5. What is the difference between SLAP repair and Biceps Tenodesis?▾
In a SLAP Repair, the labrum is reattached to the socket. In a Biceps Tenodesis, the damaged biceps tendon is relocated to a new attachment point on the humerus. Dr. Pradyumna decides between these based on the patient's age, activity level, and the quality of the tendon tissue to ensure the best long-term pain relief.
6. How long is the recovery period for shoulder labrum surgery?▾
Recovery follows a 4-stage milestone:
- Sling Phase (0-4 weeks): Protection of the repair.
- Mobility Phase (4-8 weeks): Restoring range of motion.
- Strengthening Phase (3-5 months): Building muscle support.
- Return to Sport (6 months+): Full clearance for competitive play.
