Frozen shoulder: Surgery by our specialists
If you suffer from primary shoulder stiffness, surgery can usually be avoided. Only if conservative treatment of a frozen shoulder does not bring any improvement can surgery be useful. During this, our specialists relieve the adhesions and shortenings of your articular capsule. We perform this procedure minimally invasively by means of arthroscopy (keyhole surgery). During frozen shoulder surgery, we treat the underlying causes as well as the shoulder stiffness.The surgery on your frozen shoulder is performed using a combination of local anaesthetic and general anaesthetic. Most pain stimuli are eliminated with the regional anaesthetic (pain catheter). This allows us to use a low dosage of your general anaesthetic. You will benefit greatly from the combination in the days following the operation. The pain catheter remains in place for the first few days after the surgery on your frozen shoulder. This allows you to move painlessly the day after the operation and perform your first exercises.
