Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint problems. Using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, the surgeon can visualize and operate on the shoulder through small incisions, minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery.

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive with smaller incisions
  • Reduced pain and scarring
  • Faster recovery compared to open surgery
  • Precise visualization of shoulder structures

Procedure

  1. Preparation : The patient is placed under general or regional anesthesia.
  2. Incisions : Small incisions (portals) are made around the shoulder.
  3. Insertion of Arthroscope : The arthroscope is inserted to view the joint on a screen.
  4. Repair or Treatment : Specialized instruments are used to repair or treat the damaged tissue.
  5. Closure : The incisions are closed with sutures or steri-strips.

Recovery

  • Immediate Post-Surgery: A sling may be worn to protect the shoulder.
  • Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation starts soon after surgery to restore strength and mobility.
  • Return to Activities: Light activities can resume within a few weeks, while full recovery for sports or heavy work may take 3-6 months.

Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and instruments to diagnose and treat shoulder joint problems through tiny incisions.

Common conditions include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder dislocations, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, and biceps tendon issues.

The procedure typically lasts between 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition being treated.

Shoulder arthroscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia, though regional or local anesthesia may be an option in some cases.

Initial recovery can take a few weeks, but complete healing and return to full activities, including sports, may take 3-6 months. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in recovery.
