Dr. Thonse Transforms Shoulder Surgery with Innovative HDA Augmentation

Manipal's renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Thonse has introduced a groundbreaking shoulder preservation surgery that utilizes humeral head augmentation (HDA) to maintain joint mobility and reduce pain.

Traditional shoulder replacement often involves extensive bone removal and can be risky for younger patients. Dr. Thonse's technique preserves more of the natural joint structure, combining a custom prosthetic augument with biological tissue integration, and has already shown promising early outcomes in a series of 12 patients.

Patients who underwent the procedure reported significant pain relief and quicker recovery, potentially setting a new standard for shoulder surgeries in Karnataka. Source: Google News – Manipal.
