Which surgeon has experience in this
Kindly check attached findings. I am confused as one doctor is saying to go for operation and no movement should be there until then, one doctor saying to take physiotherapy . The doctor also said that there is no guarantee that it can be fixed even if operated. Need suggestions in his forum from different surgeons who handled such things . Any referrals would be highly appreciated. In which city should we consider this operated ?

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. A complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon and dislocation of the biceps tendon can be a serious injury and requires careful management. In terms of treatment options, both surgery and physiotherapy can be effective, but the choice depends on several factors, such as the severity of the injury, age, activity level, and personal preferences. Surgery is usually recommended for complete tears of the supraspinatus tendon, especially in younger and active individuals. The procedure aims to reattach the tendon to its insertion site on the humerus bone and may involve additional repairs of other damaged structures. The post-operative recovery period can be lengthy, and immobilization of the affected shoulder may be required for several weeks. On the other hand, physiotherapy can help in restoring shoulder function and reducing pain and stiffness, but it may not be able to heal a complete tear of the tendon. However, in some cases, physiotherapy can improve symptoms sufficiently to avoid surgery, especially in older or less active individuals. In terms of selecting a surgeon, it's important to find an experienced orthopedic surgeon who has treated similar injuries before. You can ask your primary care physician or friends and family members for recommendations. It's also a good idea to research the surgeon's credentials, training, and success rates. As for the location of the surgery, it's best to choose a reputable hospital or clinic with experienced staff and state-of-the-art equipment. The surgeon can advise you on the best options based on your individual needs. Ultimately, the decision to undergo surgery or opt for physiotherapy should be made after careful consideration of all the factors involved.
