An x-ray must be taken after the physical examination for the diagnosis of the diseases underlying shoulder pain. But this alone is not enough. After X-ray to evaluate bone structures, MR imaging should be performed to evaluate soft structures, fibers and muscles. In the MRI, he can see the tearing of the fibers there or the compression of the fibers. The shoulder provides its movements with the fibers around it and there are membrane structures and spaces around these fibers.
For the treatment of shoulder fiber tear, closed surgery, that is, arthroscopy, is also performed. Shoulder arthroscopy can be performed with at least 2 or 3 holes around the shoulder, sometimes up to 4 or 5 holes. The bone blocks in the shoulder, that is, the protrusion of the bone that causes the shoulder impingement disease, can be shaved with a camera placed through the hole drilled into the shoulder joint and tools that help with the cutting and stitching placed through other holes. In the treatment of shoulder fiber tear, the layer covering the bone can be removed. The membranes and capsules that we see in shoulder dislocations can be sutured. Repair of shoulder fiber tear, which causes pain at night, can be done with closed surgery.
The basis of shoulder pain is muscle and fiber tears. Injury to the muscle, intramuscular bleeding means the same thing for orthopedics. The tissue we call muscle is a structure formed by the combination of several fibers consisting of fibers. The tearing of the muscle is a bleeding that develops due to strain between the fibers. The main principle in treatment is to remove the bleeding from that area. The basis of shoulder pain lies in the tears that occur in the fibers and muscles in the shoulder structure. The rotator cuff is a sheath of tendons that rotates the shoulder. It has a very wide range of motion. It is one of the most mobile joints in our body. Since the tendons in the shoulder are less nourished than other parts of the body and do not bleed as much as the muscles, they have structures that are more susceptible to tearing.
What Kind of Process Awaits You After Closed (Arthroscopic) Shoulder Surgery?
Although it varies according to the surgery performed, an apparatus with a pillow is placed to hold our shoulder after the fiber in the shoulder is repaired. For about 3 weeks, your shoulder stays suspended in this way, and after 3 weeks, you will have exercises that you need to do gradually. After fiber surgeries, it takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks to return to your normal life. After shoulder surgery after shoulder fiber tear treatment, the job doesn’t end after your shoulder surgery is over. After the surgery, a good physical therapy process awaits you after the fibers have healed. In cases where only the bony protrusion for the impingement syndrome in the shoulder is cleaned, if only the membranes on the shoulder are cleaned, no sling is attached after the operation. In such cases, you can return to your daily life immediately after the surgery.
