The shoulder is one of the largest and movable joints of the body. It is a ball like a socket that joints the humerus and scapula. The ball-like socket is covered with ligaments, tendons, muscles, tissues, and cartilages which help the easy movement of the joint.

Some of the common shoulder related problems are:
  • Arthritis

A shoulder injury mostly occurs due to the breakage of the ligaments and soft tissues or dislocation of the ball from the socket. In most of the severe cases, surgery is the only option to fix the shoulder joint. The modern arthroscopy keyhole surgical procedure is a minimally invasive low-risk surgery that is used to fix shoulder joint. Despite being a minimally invasive surgery, there are certain post-surgery instructions that need to be followed religiously.
