Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint conditions. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, through tiny incisions to view the inside of the joint on a monitor. This allows the surgeon to repair damaged tissues using specialized instruments. The procedure is commonly performed for rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, labral tears, and joint instability. Compared to traditional open surgery, shoulder arthroscopy offers benefits such as less pain, minimal scarring, reduced risk of complications, and a faster recovery. The recovery period varies depending on the condition treated, but most patients regain normal function with proper rehabilitation and physical therapy.
