What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method used to diagnose and treat disorders within the shoulder joint. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) and fine surgical instruments into the shoulder joint. The camera provides a detailed view of the joint’s internal structure, allowing the surgeon to see the problems more clearly and make targeted interventions. This surgical technique is commonly used to treat torn ligaments, inflammations, calcifications, and cartilage damage in the shoulder joint. Being less invasive than traditional open surgery, it helps patients recover more quickly and experience less pain.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a preferred treatment option in many cases, such as sports injuries, recurrent shoulder dislocations, or age-related degenerative changes. After the procedure, hospital stays are usually short, and with a rehabilitation process, shoulder mobility is gradually restored.
Why is Shoulder Arthroscopy Needed?
If you have been experiencing long-term shoulder pain, limited movement, or recurring injuries, shoulder arthroscopy may be an ideal solution for you. At MSM Clinic, we thoroughly assess the causes of such problems in the shoulder joint and determine the most appropriate treatment method.
Shoulder arthroscopy allows us to repair damage to the shoulder joint using a minimally invasive approach. With this surgical method, we can safely treat issues such as rotator cuff tears caused by sports injuries, age-related wear and tear, or repetitive strain. Additionally, we offer effective solutions for problems like shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, or recurrent shoulder dislocations.
At MSM Clinic, our goal is to maximize the quality of life for our patients. Therefore, we use advanced surgical methods, like shoulder arthroscopy, equipped with the latest technology to achieve the most effective results with the least intervention possible. Our aim is to return you to a pain-free and healthy life as quickly as possible.
Common applications of shoulder arthroscopy:
- Rotator Cuff Tears: When the muscles and tendons supporting the shoulder joint are torn, these tears can be repaired through arthroscopy. This condition often results from sports injuries or repetitive strain.
- Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: The tendons and soft tissues in the shoulder joint can become compressed in a narrow space, causing pain and restricted movement. Arthroscopy helps to widen this space and release the compressed tissues.
- Labrum Tears: When the cartilage tissue (labrum) that stabilizes the shoulder joint is torn, it can lead to persistent pain and an increased risk of dislocation. Labrum tears can be repaired through arthroscopy.
- Frozen Shoulder: In cases where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and its range of motion is limited, arthroscopy can remove adhesions within the joint to restore mobility.
- Shoulder Dislocations: Recurrent shoulder dislocations can weaken the ligaments in the joint. Arthroscopy can help repair these ligaments and restore shoulder stability.
