What is shoulder arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through small incisions to visualize and treat problems inside the shoulder joint.

What conditions can shoulder arthroscopy treat?

Shoulder arthroscopy can treat rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement, biceps tendonitis, shoulder instability, and arthritis.

What are the benefits of shoulder arthroscopy?

Benefits include smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications compared to open surgery.

What is the typical recovery time after shoulder arthroscopy?

Recovery varies, but typically involves 6-12 weeks for full recovery with physical therapy. Initial recovery focuses on pain management and range-of-motion, followed by strengthening exercises.

What are the potential risks and complications of shoulder arthroscopy?

Potential risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, blood clots, stiffness, and persistent pain. These are relatively uncommon.

How should I prepare for shoulder arthroscopy surgery?

Pre-operative preparation may include physical examination, imaging tests (X-rays, MRI), blood tests, medication review, and instructions on fasting and hygiene.

What should I expect immediately after shoulder arthroscopy?

Immediately after surgery, you can expect pain and swelling. Your arm will likely be in a sling. You will be given pain medication and instructions for wound care and early exercises.

When can I return to normal activities after surgery?

Return to normal activities depends on the procedure performed and your individual progress. Light activities may be possible within a few weeks, while full return to sports or heavy lifting may take several months, guided by your physical therapist and surgeon.

Transforming Lives with Shoulder Arthroscopy (Single)

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the shoulder joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the shoulder joint through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a video screen and guide miniature surgical instruments to repair damage such as torn rotator cuffs, labral tears, and bone spurs. The procedure typically results in less pain and a quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
