Arthroscopic Frozen Shoulder Release: Expertise of Dr. Vivek Bansal in Chandigarh, Mohali, and Ropar

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition characterized by stiffness and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. Fortunately, advances in medical technology and surgical techniques have made it possible to effectively treat this condition through arthroscopic frozen shoulder release. Dr. Vivek Bansal, a renowned orthopedic surgeon, is a leading expert in performing this procedure in Chandigarh, Mohali, and Ropar.

 Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder typically progresses through three stages:

1. Freezing Stage: Gradual onset of pain and stiffness.
2. Frozen Stage: Pain may diminish, but stiffness remains, severely limiting shoulder movement.
3. Thawing Stage: Gradual improvement in shoulder mobility.

While the exact cause of frozen shoulder is not fully understood, risk factors include diabetes, thyroid disorders, prolonged immobility, and certain surgeries or injuries.

Arthroscopic Frozen Shoulder Release

Arthroscopic frozen shoulder release is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at restoring shoulder mobility by releasing the tightened and thickened joint capsule. This procedure offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications.
