Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor-politician Pawan Kalyan undergoes shoulder surgery in Mumbai following a rotator cuff injury. Multiple outlets report that the procedure is performed on his right shoulder on July 11, with the operation lasting about three to three-and-a-half hours. Doctors describe the surgery as successful and issue guidance for rehabilitation. The Times of India and other reports say surgeons treat severe rotator cuff injuries, including an avulsion fracture, and describe the injury as worsening over time after an initial incident in 2016. One outlet also notes that surgeons do not operate on both shoulders at the same time because it would lead to severe pain during recovery, and instead address the right rotator cuff. Visits from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis are reported following the surgery. Pawan Kalyan is subsequently discharged from the hospital. Reports also indicate that his post-operative care includes physiotherapy for about three weeks, while another source mentions the hospital expects a full recovery over the following months. A left-shoulder surgery is mentioned as being planned in roughly two months.
