Shoulder Surgery Options
When non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and injections aren’t enough, shoulder surgery may be recommended. Dr Oduah specialises in modern, minimally invasive procedures that minimise recovery time and improve long-term results.
Rotator Cuff Repair
One of the most common causes of shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears can be repaired surgically through open or arthroscopic techniques. Dr Oduah performs rotator cuff repair in Mbombela, restoring strength and mobility with precision.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera to diagnose and treat joint problems such as impingement, labral tears, or loose cartilage. Patients benefit from less pain, smaller incisions, and faster healing.
Shoulder Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty)
When arthritis severely damages the shoulder joint, joint replacement may be the most effective option. Dr Oduah offers shoulder joint surgery to restore motion and relieve chronic pain, using high-quality prosthetics.
Shoulder Stabilisation Surgery
For patients with recurring dislocations or instability, stabilisation surgery is used to tighten ligaments and repair the joint capsule to prevent future injury.
