What is shoulder arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a specialized camera called an arthroscope and small instruments to diagnose and treat various shoulder conditions. It provides a detailed view inside the shoulder joint without the need for large incisions.

How is shoulder arthroscopy performed?

During shoulder arthroscopy, small incisions are made, and the arthroscope is inserted to visualize the shoulder joint. Specialized instruments are then used to repair or treat issues identified during the procedure. This minimally invasive approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues.

What is the recovery time for shoulder arthroscopy?

Recovery time varies based on the specific procedure and individual patient factors. Generally, patients can expect a quicker recovery compared to open surgery. Early initiation of motion exercises and adherence to a rehabilitation plan are crucial for optimal recovery.

What conditions can be treated with shoulder arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is versatile and can address conditions such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, and recurrent dislocations. Its dual diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities make it a valuable tool for orthopedic surgeons.

What are the benefits of shoulder arthroscopy over traditional open surgery?

Shoulder arthroscopy offers several advantages, including smaller incisions, reduced damage to surrounding tissues, faster recovery times, and decreased postoperative pain. Patients often experience improved range of motion and function with this less invasive approach.

Are there risks associated with shoulder arthroscopy?

While shoulder arthroscopy is considered safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, or stiffness. However, the overall complication rate is relatively low, and the benefits of the procedure often outweigh the risks.
