Transforming Lives with Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery
Shoulder arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the shoulder joint. This type of surgery uses a small camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the shoulder joint through small incisions. The camera displays pictures on a video monitor, and tiny surgical instruments are used to perform the repairs.
Common Conditions Treated with Shoulder Arthroscopy:
- Rotator cuff tears: Repair of the muscles and tendons that provide shoulder motion and support.
- Impingement syndrome: Removal or repair of tissue that is causing pain and restricting movement.
- Labral tears: Repair or reattachment of the cartilage in the shoulder joint.
- Frozen shoulder: Release of contractures and scar tissue to improve range of motion.
- Shoulder instability: Repair of ligaments to stabilize the shoulder.
Advantages of Shoulder Arthroscopy:
- Less traumatic: Smaller incisions reduce pain and shorten recovery time compared to open surgery.
- Increased accuracy: The use of a camera allows for a more precise and targeted approach to diagnose and repair damage.
- Quicker recovery: Patients often return home the same day and can commence rehabilitation sooner than with traditional surgery.
Procedure Overview:
The surgery typically lasts from 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia or regional anesthesia. Surgeons make small incisions around the shoulder, through which the arthroscope and other instruments are inserted. Depending on the issue, damaged tissue may be repaired or removed, and corrections to bone or cartilage are made as needed.
Recovery and Rehabilitation:
Recovery times vary depending on the specific procedures performed and the individual's general health but generally involve:
- Rest and immobilization: A sling may be used to support the shoulder as it heals.
- Physical therapy: Begins soon after surgery to restore range of motion, strength, and functionality.
- Pain management: Medications and ice therapy help manage pain and swelling.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a beneficial technique for effectively resolving many shoulder issues, leading to improved function, reduced pain, and a quicker return to normal activities.
