Madinah – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah has recorded a remarkable medical achievement in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, following the successful performance of a complex and advanced arthroscopic procedure to treat a chronic injury of the shoulder joint.
The procedure was performed on a patient in his early thirties who had been suffering from chronic shoulder pain, weakness, and instability in the right shoulder.

This complex procedure required a high level of surgical expertise and technical precision due to the chronic nature of the injury and the presence of muscle atrophy.
By the grace of God, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good health and without any complications.
During the first postoperative follow‑up the next day, clinical assessment showed a clear improvement in the shoulder’s range of motion.
Physiotherapy sessions were initiated four weeks after surgery. Upon completion of the full rehabilitation program, the patient successfully regained approximately 80% of shoulder muscle strength and range of motion.
