Shoulder and elbow problems can make daily tasks like lifting or carrying very difficult. These joints are prone to injuries, arthritis, and trauma, often requiring advanced treatment.
At the Dr. Atul Jaspal Bone and Joint Clinic in Paschim Vihar, Dr. Atul Jaspal provides specialized care in arthroscopy, joint replacement, and trauma surgeries, helping patients restore mobility, strength, and long-term joint health.
Shoulder & Elbow Surgeries include a range of advanced procedures to treat injuries, degeneration, and trauma affecting these joints. Treatments may involve arthroscopic repairs, ligament/tendon reconstructions, fracture fixation, or joint replacements depending on the severity of the condition.
These procedures aim to:
Relieve pain and stiffness
Restore range of motion
Improve joint strength and stability
Prevent progression of arthritis
Sports injuries (rotator cuff tears, ligament injuries)
Repeated overhead or strenuous activities
Degenerative arthritis and cartilage wear
Trauma or fractures from falls and accidents
Chronic instability or dislocations
Persistent pain in the shoulder or elbow
Stiffness or restricted movement
Recurrent dislocations or instability
Weakness in lifting or gripping
Clicking, catching, or grinding sensation
Swelling or deformity after trauma

Detailed History & Examination – Assessing pain, instability, strength, and motion
X-rays – Detect bone injuries, arthritis, or deformities
MRI/CT Scan – Identify ligament, tendon, and cartilage damage
Arthroscopy (Diagnostic) – In select cases, a camera-assisted procedure for direct joint visualization
Physiotherapy & strengthening exercises
Pain medications & anti-inflammatory drugs
PRP or corticosteroid injections
Bracing or immobilization for support
