What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder conditions. It involves the use of a small camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the shoulder joint through tiny incisions. This allows the orthopedic surgeon to view the inside of the shoulder on a screen and perform necessary treatments with specialized instruments.

Shoulder arthroscopy is commonly used to treat conditions such as:

  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Labral tears or SLAP (Superior Labral Anterior Posterior) tears
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
  • Shoulder instability
  • Arthritis-related damage
  • Removal of loose bodies or bone spurs
The minimally invasive nature of the procedure results in smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

Conditions Treated with Shoulder Arthroscopy

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Rotator cuff tears can result from overuse, aging, or trauma. Shoulder arthroscopy allows for repair of torn tendons, helping patients restore shoulder function and strength.
  • Labral Tears: Labral tears, including SLAP tears, can cause pain, instability, and limited movement. Arthroscopic surgery repairs the damaged labrum, stabilizing the shoulder joint.
  • Frozen Shoulder: For patients with frozen shoulder, shoulder arthroscopy can release adhesion and restore mobility, significantly improving quality of life.
  • Shoulder Impingement: Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are compressed. Arthroscopy helps by removing bone spurs or inflamed tissue, alleviating pain and restoring function.
  • Shoulder Instability: Recurrent shoulder dislocations can weaken the joint. Arthroscopic stabilization procedures strengthen and stabilize the shoulder, preventing future dislocation.

Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

  • Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less tissue damage and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
  • Reduced Pain: Patients experience less postoperative pain, which can be managed effectively with medications.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients return to their regular activities within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
  • Enhanced Precision: The use of an arthroscope provides detailed visualization, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Minimal Scarring: Tiny incisions result in minimal scarring, which is particularly beneficial for younger patients or those concerned about cosmetic outcomes.

Recovery After Shoulder Arthroscopy

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed and the patient’s overall health. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-6 weeks, while full recovery may take several months. Dr. Sheth will provide a personalized recovery timeline and monitor your progress during follow-up visits.
