Right shoulder rotator cuff fractured.
Recently It has diagnosed in my MRI report "displaced evulsion fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus at the attachment of supraspinatus tendon". I have shown this to the orthopedic surgeon who said that surgery is needed for recovery & the expenditures for this would be around Rs. 1.5 lac. Other hand one of the most well-known orthopedic surgeon said that surgery is not required small bone part has displaced from its original bone so I should take the proper rest for 2 months with sling arm. Pls guide me the right way what I do in this case. Shall I go for surgery or only proper rest is enough for complete recovery? I'm attaching here my MRI report for your better understanding.
Hi...both the options have their advantages. If you go for surgery, your recovery will be faster but you will have to pay more money.
If you dont go for surgery, the treatment will be cheaper but the recovery may take more time.
Next Steps
Even if you dont go for surgery, there is a high chance that the fracture will heal. But see to it that you get regu xrays...and as per those xrays, immobilize the shoulder or start gentle range of motion exercises...
