Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat a range of shoulder issues, such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and impingement. Through small incisions, an arthroscope—a thin, lighted tube with a camera—gives a clear view of the shoulder joint, enabling precise repair with minimal tissue disruption.
This procedure offers significant benefits over traditional surgery, including less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars. By minimizing tissue damage, shoulder arthroscopy helps patients return to their daily activities and sports more quickly, making it an ideal choice for athletes and active individuals needing effective, targeted treatment.
During shoulder arthroscopy, specialized instruments are inserted through small incisions to address damaged structures within the joint. The arthroscope provides real-time visuals, allowing the surgeon to carefully remove or repair tissues while preserving healthy surrounding areas, supporting a more natural recovery and improved shoulder function.
After the procedure, a tailored rehabilitation plan is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and shoulder stability. Physical therapy and guided exercises focus on restoring movement and preventing stiffness, allowing patients to rebuild function with minimal discomfort. With proper post-operative care, shoulder arthroscopy offers long-lasting relief and enhanced joint mobility.
