Jr NTR Undergoes Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery at KIMS Hospitals
Jr NTR's Shoulder Surgery: How Long Does Recovery Usually Take? · NDTV

Jr NTR is a very famous movie actor in India who recently had surgery on his shoulder.

The special kind of surgery he had is called arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The doctors did it at KIMS Hospitals in Secunderabad.

They used a tiny camera and very small cuts, so it is less painful than big surgery.

Jr NTR said on an app called X that the surgery went well and he is feeling fine.

But doctors say feeling better does not mean the shoulder is completely healed.

The parts inside the shoulder can take many months to get strong again, sometimes close to a year.

Doing too much too soon can hurt the shoulder again.

So Jr NTR must do special exercises and wait until his doctors say he is ready.

Following the doctors' advice is the best way to get better safely.
