Many patients with frozen shoulder who come to the clinic are afraid and worried when they hear that they need surgery. In addition to the effect of surgery, they are also worried if the doctor has said that the disease is serious, so when do they need surgery? 1. The pain is obvious at night and affects sleep. This includes painful inability to sleep and waking up after falling asleep and turning over because of pain. Sleep is even more important than diet, so it is more serious when it affects sleep. 2.Loss of 50% of function. This means that the arm is raised below the shoulder or at the level of the shoulder, and it is difficult to reach back and touch the belt, which can cause difficulties in daily life such as dressing. 3.The duration of the disease is more than 3 months. If all of the above 3 points are reached, it is necessary to operate, and according to my experience, the effect of the operation will be very good within 3 months or about 3 months, and even can recover completely normal, while more than 3 months, although also can get satisfactory results, but most of the recovery is not more than 90%. Of course, if the symptoms are not that serious, you can continue conservative treatment and observation, after all, the surgery is aimed at the patient’s symptoms. Surgery is very effective in relieving pain, but recovery of function requires strict rehabilitation within two weeks after surgery. We have a strong professional rehabilitation team that has created its own rehabilitation techniques to make the surgery twice as effective, which is what many hospitals in China lack. 4, The only imaging mentioned is that if it is an MRI if a rotator cuff tear or glenoid labrum injury is found, surgery is necessary. 5. Trauma or surgery causing shoulder pain and functional limitation is best operated within 3 months for a more satisfactory result. Another important reason that may affect the patient’s surgery is the cost, which is more affordable for the patient due to our health insurance system. You can consult about the cost of the surgery and the specific surgical procedure. It is important to mention that the surgery is minimally invasive surgery – arthroscopic treatment.
