A 68-year-old woman, Mrs. Basanti, was successfully treated for severe shoulder arthritis at Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi in Bangalore. She had been suffering from intense pain and limited mobility in her right shoulder for over two years, which affected her daily activities such as dressing, cooking, and even lifting a cup of tea. Despite visiting several hospitals and undergoing physiotherapy, she found no relief. The pain had taken a toll on her sleep and overall well-being, leaving her feeling frustrated and emotionally drained.
At Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi, Dr. Manjunath Kodihally, Consultant – Orthopaedics, diagnosed her with a rotator cuff tear and recommended reverse total shoulder replacement surgery. The surgery, which took less than an hour, involved replacing the damaged joint with an artificial implant designed to improve mobility and relieve pain. The patient was discharged within a day post-surgery, with noticeable improvement in shoulder movement and function.
Dr. Manjunath Kodihally stated that the reverse total shoulder replacement was the most effective treatment option for Mrs. Basanti’s advanced shoulder arthritis. The surgery marked a major turning point in her life, and she experienced a significant reduction in pain, along with improved strength, flexibility, and stability in her shoulder. This type of surgery is beneficial for patients with severe shoulder damage, helping them restore full range of motion and return to an active, pain-free life.
The successful intervention has given Mrs. Basanti a new lease on life, and she can now look forward to a more independent and comfortable future. Dr. Tejaswini Parthasarathy, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi, emphasized the hospital’s commitment to delivering world-class orthopaedic care and prioritizing patient well-being. The hospital’s approach combines advanced surgical techniques with patient-centric care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

The success of the surgery highlights the importance of seeking medical attention from specialized healthcare providers and the benefits of advanced surgical techniques in treating complex orthopaedic conditions. With the help of Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi and Dr. Manjunath Kodihally, Mrs. Basanti has regained her independence and is looking forward to a pain-free life.
