Rare shoulder surgery performed by surgeons of Kurnool KIMS

His mother working as a staff nurse in Anantapur government hospital, got him scanned with MRI later and sent it to KIMS Kurnool. When examined thoroughly, it was found that the ball-socket joint which is the glenoid cup has been worn out. So, even the slightest movement would result in complete dislocation of the hand bone. A great portion of this joint has worn out and because of the fear of dislocation, he completely stopped using right hand and started using his left hand. Analysing the whole scenario, he was operated using the Latarjet procedure. This is a very rare technique. In this, bone from another part of the shoulder along with some muscle is cut and attached in the damaged area. In this case, coracoid process bone and the muscle around the part has been attached near this damaged cup area. Because of this, the glenoid cup has formed again completely. This is called 'Arm sling effect.' His hand movements have been restored to normal and was discharged. He has been visitng the hospital.
