Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery
Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery
Shoulder arthroscopy is surgery that uses a camera called an arthroscope to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your shoulder joint. It is often called “keyhole” surgery. The arthroscope is inserted through a small incision (cut) in your skin.
The arthroscopic camera allows fantastic vision around your shoulder joint, allowing a comprehensive assessment of the structures and damage in your shoulder.
It is a treatment that is minimally invasive and ensures less discomfort. It deals with diseases that include shoulder joint bones, ligaments, tissues, cartilage, tendons, and muscles.
