Shoulder Arthroscopy

What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder Arthroscopy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to diagnose and treat a wide range of shoulder joint conditions. It is performed using an arthroscope, a small instrument equipped with a camera that provides a detailed view of the shoulder joint on a monitor. This allows the surgeon to pinpoint the exact cause of pain or dysfunction and address it with precision.

Through tiny incisions, specialized surgical tools are inserted to perform procedures such as repairing damaged tissues, removing bone spurs, or addressing inflammation. Shoulder arthroscopy is highly effective for conditions that do not respond to non-surgical treatments like medications, physical therapy, or injections.

This procedure is particularly useful for managing:

Rotator Cuff Tears: Repairing torn tendons to restore shoulder strength and mobility.
Labral Tears (SLAP Lesions): Fixing tears in the cartilage that cushions the joint.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Loosening the stiffened joint capsule to improve range of motion.
Shoulder Instability: Tightening or repairing ligaments to stabilize the joint after recurrent dislocations.
Arthritis or Bone Spurs: Removing damaged tissues or bone growths to alleviate pain and improve movement.

Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, making it an appealing choice for patients experiencing shoulder issues. Here are the key benefits:

Minimally Invasive
The procedure involves only small incisions, which leads to less disruption of surrounding tissues, reducing trauma and pain during recovery.
Faster Recovery
Because of the smaller incisions and reduced tissue damage, patients typically experience quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery, with many being able to return to normal activities sooner.
Reduced Scarring
The use of small incisions results in smaller scars, offering more aesthetically pleasing outcomes, especially for patients concerned about visible scarring.
Less Pain Post-Surgery
With less disruption to the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles, patients usually experience less postoperative pain, which can lead to a more comfortable recovery.
