Shoulder arthroscopy is a cutting-edge surgical technique that has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of various shoulder conditions. This minimally invasive procedure utilizes a small camera known as an arthroscope, which is inserted through tiny incisions in the shoulder joint. Through this innovative approach, surgeons can visualize the interior of the shoulder and address a range of issues with specialized instruments, all while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

One of the primary reasons for opting for shoulder arthroscopy is its effectiveness in addressing rotator cuff tears. The rotator cuff is a crucial group of muscles and tendons that envelop and stabilize the shoulder joint. When tears occur in the rotator cuff, it can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Shoulder arthroscopy allows surgeons to repair these tears by precisely navigating the arthroscope and instruments to the affected area, promoting optimal healing and restoring functionality.

Smaller incisions –?Less tissue damage and quicker healing compared to traditional surgery.

Faster recovery –?Most patients go home the same day or the next day.

Reduced pain and improved function –?Restores mobility and relieves shoulder pain.

Enhanced visualization –?Arthroscope provides a magnified view of the joint for precise diagnosis and treatment.

Rotator cuff tears –?Repairing tears in the tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint.

Labral tears –?Repairing or reattaching the torn rim of the shoulder socket.

Arthritis –?Removing inflamed tissue and smoothing damaged cartilage.

Impingement –?Removing bone spurs or inflamed tissue pinching the tendons.

Instability –?Tightening ligaments to prevent shoulder dislocations.
