About Sanjay Makhija's Treatment

Mr Sanjay Makhija, a long-time resident of Dubai, experienced a shoulder injury after returning to Nashik. The pain and restricted shoulder movement led him to seek expert orthopedic care at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik. After evaluation by Dr Yogesh Chaudhari, he was diagnosed with a Lateral End Clavicle Fracture. To restore shoulder stability and achieve proper healing, a minor surgical procedure was recommended and successfully performed. Sanjay appreciated the professional and compassionate care provided by the medical team, sharing that his treatment experience aligned with the international standards he was familiar with in Dubai.

In the Patient Words

"I had a minor shoulder injury and consulted Dr Yogesh Chaudhari. Upon his advice, I had to go through a minor surgery for my shoulder. The doctors and staff were cooperative and humble in providing all the details of my treatment, which was taken care of in a very professional manner. Being here gave me the same feeling of what we have in international standards. I was truly impressed to see such facilities in Nashik."

What is a Lateral End Clavicle Fracture?

A Lateral End Clavicle Fracture occurs at the outer portion of the collarbone near the shoulder joint. It is usually caused by a fall or direct impact on the shoulder.

Common symptoms include:

Pain that increases with shoulder movement
Swelling or bruising over the collarbone
Difficulty lifting the arm
A visible bump or deformity near the shoulder

When the fracture fragments are displaced, surgery is recommended to ensure proper alignment and full recovery of shoulder function.

What Treatment did we provide to Sanjay Makhija at Medicover?

After expert orthopedic assessment, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) was performed by Dr Chaudhari. This precise surgical approach included:

Repositioning the fractured bone fragments
Fixing them using medical implants such as plates and screws
Ensuring stable healing and proper alignment of the shoulder joint

Following surgery, Mr Makhija received supportive post-operative care and guided rehabilitation to regain mobility and shoulder strength. His successful recovery reflects both the advanced orthopedic expertise and the exceptional patient experience delivered at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik.
