There are several types of shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilization surgery (Bankart repair), labral repair or reconstruction, shoulder decompression surgery (subacromial decompression), shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder replacement (total or partial), and fracture repair. The specific procedure recommended depends on the nature of the shoulder problem, the extent of damage or injury, and the patient's individual circumstances. Your orthopedic surgeon will determine the most appropriate surgical approach for your condition.
