Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint problems. By using an arthroscope, a small camera, surgeons can view the inside of the joint on a screen, allowing for precise interventions.
Common Reasons for Shoulder Arthroscopy
- Rotator Cuff Repair: Repairing torn rotator cuff tendons.
- Labrum Repair: Fixing a torn labrum, which can cause instability and pain.
- Bone Spurs: Removing bone spurs or loose fragments that can cause pain and limit movement.
- Bursa Removal: Removing inflamed bursa to relieve pain.
- Ligament Repair: Repairing or tightening ligaments that might be causing instability.
- Frozen Shoulder: Releasing scar tissue to improve mobility in cases of adhesive capsulitis.
Benefits
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less scarring and quicker recovery.
- Less Pain: Reduced postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
- Quicker Recovery: Patients often experience a faster return to normal activities.
- Outpatient Procedure: Many shoulder arthroscopies are done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home the same day.
Conclusion
Shoulder arthroscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating shoulder joint issues with minimal invasiveness. It offers many benefits, including reduced pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars. However, it’s essential to follow the surgeon’s postoperative instructions and engage in recommended physical therapy to ensure the best outcome.
