Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder Arthroscopy – Advanced Minimally Invasive Shoulder Treatment
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows precise diagnosis and treatment of shoulder problems using tiny incisions and a high-definition camera. It offers faster recovery, reduced pain, and excellent long-term outcomes for a wide range of shoulder conditions.
What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) into the shoulder joint to view internal structures such as tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the labrum. Special miniature instruments are then used to repair damage without the need for large incisions.
This technique is commonly recommended for injuries caused by sports, falls, repetitive overhead activities, or age-related degeneration.
Conditions Treated with Shoulder Arthroscopy
Rotator cuff tears
Labral / SLAP tears
Shoulder instability or repeated dislocations
Impingement syndrome
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Cartilage injuries
AC joint problems
Loose bodies inside the joint
Signs You May Need Arthroscopy
If you experience any of the following, arthroscopy may be the right treatment option:
Persistent pain during overhead or lifting activities
Shoulder slipping or feeling unstable
Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations
Stiffness or restricted movement
Weakness affecting daily activities
Night pain disturbing sleep
Common Arthroscopic Procedures
Rotator Cuff Repair
Reattaches torn tendons to the bone through tiny keyhole openings.
Labral / SLAP Repair
Restores stability by repairing the labrum and reinforcing shoulder ligaments.
Subacromial Decompression (Impingement Treatment)
Removes bone spurs or inflamed tissue that pinch the rotator cuff.
Capsular Release
Improves mobility in patients with frozen shoulder.
Cartilage Treatment & Loose Body Removal
Smooths damaged cartilage and removes fragments causing joint locking.
Ligament Reconstruction
Supports shoulder stability in athletes and active individuals.
Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less pain compared to open surgery
Faster recovery and early rehabilitation
Lower risk of complications
Better preservation of surrounding tissues
High precision and improved long-term results
Treatment Process
1. Clinical Evaluation & Imaging
Assessment using X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound to confirm the exact issue.
2. Personalised Surgical Planning
A tailored plan based on the injury, age, lifestyle, and activity level.
3. Arthroscopic Procedure
Performed through tiny incisions with high-definition visualization for accuracy.
4. Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy
Guided recovery focusing on mobility, strength, and a safe return to activity.
Who Can Benefit Most?
Athletes with shoulder instability
Patients with labral or tendon tears
Individuals with impingement or chronic pain
Those who haven’t improved with medication or physiotherapy
People needing better shoulder function for work or sport
