Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint conditions. It involves the insertion of a small camera (arthroscope) into the shoulder joint through small incisions. This allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the joint on a screen and make precise repairs or adjustments. Shoulder arthroscopy is commonly performed for issues such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, impingement syndrome, and shoulder instability. Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopy typically results in shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and smaller scars. It is often an effective option for addressing a range of shoulder problems.
