Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression Pune
Sancheti Hospital offers arthroscopic subacromial decompression to relieve shoulder impingement, reduce pain, and restore full shoulder mobility.
What is Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression?
Arthroscopic subacromial decompression is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to relieve shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff get pinched under the acromion (a bony part of the shoulder blade). This leads to pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
During the procedure, surgeons use a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to remove inflamed tissue and shave off a small portion of the acromion bone. This creates more space for the tendons to glide smoothly, reducing friction and restoring pain-free movement. Patients may undergo left shoulder arthroscopic subacromial decompression or right shoulder arthroscopic subacromial decompression, depending on the side affected.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression
- Minimally invasive technique with smaller incisions.
- Reduced shoulder pain and inflammation.
- Improved range of motion and strength.
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery.
- Daycare procedure in many cases, meaning quicker discharge.
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Not suitable for all patients, especially those with advanced arthritis.
- Recovery still requires several weeks of physiotherapy.
- Some patients may experience temporary stiffness or discomfort after surgery.
- In rare cases, pain relief may be incomplete.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recovery time after arthroscopic subacromial decompression?
Most patients return to light activities within 3–4 weeks. Full recovery and return to sports may take 3–4 months.
Is the surgery painful?
Patients may feel mild pain and stiffness for a few days after surgery, but this is well-managed with medication and physiotherapy.
Will I need physiotherapy after the surgery?
Yes, physiotherapy is crucial after arthroscopic subacromial decompression. It helps restore strength, motion, and prevents stiffness.
How do I know if I need this surgery?
If shoulder pain persists despite rest, medication, and physiotherapy, your surgeon may recommend left shoulder arthroscopic subacromial decompression or right shoulder arthroscopic subacromial decompression depending on your case.
Is it a daycare procedure?
Yes, in most cases patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours.
Can the problem return after surgery?
Recurrence is rare if proper rehab and lifestyle modifications are followed, but overuse or reinjury can cause symptoms to reappear.
What are the risks of arthroscopic subacromial decompression?
As with any surgery, risks include infection, stiffness, or incomplete relief of pain. These are uncommon and minimized with expert care.
When can I return to work?
Desk job patients may return within 2–3 weeks. Physically demanding jobs may require 2–3 months depending on recovery progress.
