What is the surgical procedure and cost for recursive dislocation?

Dear Nihal,

Recurrent dislocation occurs when a joint (commonly the shoulder or knee) repeatedly slips out of place due to weakened ligaments, previous injury, or structural abnormalities.

Treatment Plan

1. Initial Management:

• Rest and immobilization (brace/sling)

• Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve stability

• Lifestyle modifications to avoid high-risk activities

        2. Surgical Intervention (if required):

• Arthroscopic Stabilization (Minimally Invasive): Tightens ligaments and repairs any damage.

• Open Surgery (Capsular Shift/Latarjet Procedure): Recommended for severe cases with bone loss or instability.

Advantages of Arthroscopy

• Minimally invasive: Small incisions, less scarring

• Faster recovery: Reduced hospital stay and quicker return to daily activities

• Less pain and complications: Compared to open surgery

• Precise repair: Direct visualization for accurate ligament tightening

Precautions

• Avoid excessive strain on the affected joint.

• Get physiotherapy as advised.

• Use supportive braces if needed.

• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress.

Estimated Cost

• Surgical Procedure (Arthroscopy/Open Surgery): Starts from 80000/- and depends on the hospital and doctor chosen, the treatment technique, the financing options if available etc.
