Shoulder Specialist Clinic at Global Hospital, Pune treats rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocation, frozen shoulder, and sports injuries through both arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery and non-surgical care, led by Dr. Shubham Katti (MBBS, MS Ortho). The clinic offers a full range of options from physical therapy through total and reverse shoulder replacement.
Shoulder pain most often comes from one of three sources: a rotator cuff tear (damage to the muscles and tendons connecting the shoulder joint, often signaled by a crackling sound when raising the arm), biceps tendinitis (inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons causing ache and stiffness, which recovers in roughly 90% of cases with early treatment), or a dislocated shoulder (the arm bone popping out of its socket, causing pain and limited movement).
Other common causes include sports injuries, frozen shoulder, and trauma from accidents.
Stiffness in the shoulder
Difficulty moving the arm
Weakness in the upper arm
Burning sensation in the arm
A crackling or popping sound when raising the arm overhead
Mild, occasional shoulder pain often resolves with rest and home care. Pain that persists, recurs, or limits daily movement needs a specialist evaluation before it becomes a chronic issue.
Diagnosis typically starts with a physical exam, followed by imaging — X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI — to confirm the underlying cause. Based on the findings, treatment follows one of these paths:
Arthroscopic Bankart Repair — repairs shoulder instability caused by labral tears
Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair — minimally invasive repair of torn rotator cuff tendons
Arthroscopic SLAP Repair / Biceps Tenodesis — treats specific labral tears at the biceps attachment point
Shoulder Fracture Reconstruction — repairs broken bones around the shoulder joint
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty — full shoulder joint replacement for severe arthritis
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty — a specialized replacement for patients with rotator cuff damage alongside arthritis

Shoulder pain that’s ignored tends to get harder to treat, not easier. Book a consultation with Dr. Shubham Katti for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Q: How do I know if my shoulder pain needs surgery or will heal on its own?
A: Mild shoulder pain that responds to rest, cold or heat therapy, and doesn’t limit daily movement often resolves without surgery. Pain that persists beyond a few weeks, recurs frequently, or comes with weakness or a crackling sound when lifting the arm needs a specialist evaluation to check for a rotator cuff tear or instability.
Q: What is the difference between a rotator cuff tear and frozen shoulder?
A: A rotator cuff tear is physical damage to the tendons connecting muscle to bone, often causing a crackling sound and weakness when lifting the arm overhead. Frozen shoulder is progressive stiffening and loss of range of motion in the joint capsule itself, without necessarily involving torn tissue. Both need different treatment approaches, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters.
Q: Is arthroscopic shoulder surgery a major surgery?
A: Arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery is minimally invasive, using small incisions and a camera rather than open surgery, which generally means less pain, scarring, and faster recovery than traditional open procedures. Recovery time still varies depending on what’s being repaired — a labral repair recovers differently than a full rotator cuff reconstruction.
Q: When is shoulder replacement necessary?
A: Shoulder replacement is typically recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage that hasn’t responded to physical therapy, medication, or arthroscopic repair. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty specifically is used when rotator cuff damage accompanies the arthritis, since it changes the joint’s mechanics to compensate for the missing tendon function.
