Shoulder Department
Precision Shoulder Surgery by Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar
At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, the Shoulder Department is a center of advanced care—personally led by Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar, AIIMS globally trained orthopedic surgeon. With years of experience and international exposure in robotic and minimally invasive joint surgeries, Dr. Shubhankar brings global standards to shoulder care in Meerut.
Every diagnosis, every decision, and every procedure in this department is overseen and executed by Dr. Shubhankar himself—ensuring that patients receive the most accurate diagnosis, the most conservative treatment possible, and the most effective surgical outcomes when required.
Shoulder Instability
Recurrent shoulder dislocations can turn into chronic instability if not corrected early. Often seen in athletes or post-injury patients, this condition leads to joint looseness, muscle guarding, and fear of movement.
Beyond surgical correction, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar emphasizes a comprehensive patient evaluation, which includes assessing underlying factors like joint hyperlaxity, muscle imbalances, or previous failed surgeries that may contribute to instability. This holistic approach ensures the treatment plan is tailored not just to the shoulder joint but to the entire kinetic chain supporting it.
Patients at Mrityunjay Hospital, Meerut benefit from cutting-edge surgical tools such as high-strength suture anchors, bioabsorbable implants, and the latest arthroscopic techniques that allow for smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster healing. Combined with a dedicated physiotherapy team, Dr. Shubhankar’s program focuses on regaining shoulder strength, proprioception, and sport-specific or occupational movement patterns — ensuring patients don’t just recover but thrive confidently in their daily lives or competitive pursuits.
Under Dr. Shubhankar’s care:
- Detailed imaging (MRI, CT) is used to assess soft tissue and labral damage.
- Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization (keyhole surgery) is performed using precision anchors and minimal trauma technique.
- Post-op rehabilitation is carefully supervised to prevent recurrence and rebuild confidence.
His approach minimizes risk of redislocation and restores full range of motion in record recovery time.
Rotator Cuff Tear
Whether degenerative or traumatic, a torn rotator cuff can drastically limit shoulder function and quality of life. Delays in proper treatment often worsen the tear and prolong disability. At MOH:
At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, patients with rotator cuff tears receive expert, personalized care under the guidance of Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar, Consultant Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgeon. A rotator cuff tear occurs when the tendons in the shoulder become damaged or torn, often due to overuse, injury, or age-related degeneration. This condition can severely limit a person’s ability to lift, rotate, or reach with the affected arm, leading to chronic pain and weakness that disrupts daily life and work activities.
Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar specializes in diagnosing rotator cuff injuries using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI, ensuring no detail is missed. His approach blends minimally invasive arthroscopic repair techniques with tailored rehabilitation programs designed to restore shoulder strength, flexibility, and function. Whether you are an athlete, a laborer, or simply someone looking to regain pain-free movement, you can trust Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut to deliver comprehensive care with excellent outcomes.
- Dr. Shubhankar personally conducts high-resolution diagnostic evaluations to grade the tear.

- When surgery is needed, Dr. Shubhankar performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with ultra-fine instrumentation, preserving healthy tissue and reducing post-op pain.
His expertise ensures minimal physiotherapy requirement and rapid shoulder strength recovery—ideal for both active adults and senior patients.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
This condition is marked by severe stiffness, especially in diabetic and post-operative patients. Most treatments fail when done without stage-specific clarity.
Frozen Shoulder, or Adhesive Capsulitis, is a painful and often frustrating condition that gradually limits shoulder movement, making even simple tasks like dressing or reaching overhead difficult. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar offers expert care for patients facing this condition, guiding them through every stage of recovery. The condition typically develops after injury, surgery, or periods of immobilization and can persist for months if not treated properly.
With a deep understanding of shoulder mechanics and patient-centered care, Dr. Shubhankar Shekhar provides both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s severity and needs. From supervised physiotherapy and medication strategies to advanced arthroscopic capsular release procedures when needed, the focus is always on restoring pain-free motion and preventing long-term stiffness. At Mrityunjay Orthopedic Hospital, Meerut, patients find the expertise and support they need to regain control over their shoulder health.
Dr. Shubhankar’s protocol includes:
- Accurate staging (freezing, frozen, thawing) through clinical and imaging correlation
- Intra-articular injections, capsular stretches, and selective MUA (manipulation under anesthesia) only when necessary
- Tailored physiotherapy to match the stage and response of each patient
With his refined approach, most cases improve dramatically without aggressive therapy or repeat interventions.
