Shoulder problems are a common cause of pain, stiffness, and limited movement, especially in active individuals and older patients. At Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia, we provide advanced solutions such as shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, frozen shoulder treatment, shoulder instability management, and shoulder joint replacement surgery to help patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder conditions. Using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, surgeons can repair damaged tissues with smaller cuts, less pain, and faster recovery.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears can occur due to sports, heavy lifting, or age-related degeneration.
Shoulder impingement occurs when tendons of the rotator cuff are compressed between bones, leading to pain and inflammation. It is often seen in athletes, manual workers, and people with repetitive overhead arm use.
Frozen shoulder is characterized by stiffness and severe restriction of shoulder movements. It commonly occurs in people with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or after prolonged immobilization.
Freezing phase – pain and stiffness gradually worsen
Frozen phase – pain reduces but stiffness remains
Thawing phase – gradual recovery of motion
Shoulder instability happens when the joint is too loose and slips out of place (dislocation). It can be caused by sports injuries, trauma, or ligament laxity.
For severe arthritis, fractures, or irreparable rotator cuff damage, shoulder joint replacement is recommended.
If you are experiencing shoulder pain, stiffness, or instability, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further damage. Contact Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia today to schedule a consultation and explore the best options for your recovery.
