Description
What is Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery?
Shoulder arthroscopy surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the shoulder joint. It involves the use of a small, flexible camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted through small incisions around the shoulder joint. This allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the shoulder and perform surgical procedures with precision.
the arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint through a small incision. The surgeon then examines the structures inside the shoulder, including the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding tissues, to identify any abnormalities or damage. Additional small incisions may be made to insert specialized surgical instruments to perform repairs or remove damaged tissue.
Shoulder arthroscopy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement syndrome, shoulder instability, and inflammation of the lining of the joint (synovitis). Common procedures performed using shoulder arthroscopy include rotator cuff repair, labral repair, subacromial decompression, and removal of loose bodies or scar tissue.
One of the key advantages of shoulder arthroscopy is its minimally invasive nature, which typically results in less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. Patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy often experience shorter hospital stays and can often return to normal activities sooner.
Recovery from shoulder arthroscopy varies depending on the specific procedure performed and the individual patient’s condition. In many cases, patients can begin physical therapy shortly after surgery to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the shoulder joint.
