Shoulder Arthroscopy

Expert Care for Shoulder Instability

Shoulder Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery used to treat Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation and Rotator Cuff problems using a small arthroscope camera.

What Happens During TKR Surgery?

In this procedure, doctors insert a tiny camera called an arthroscope through small cuts (5–10 mm).
The camera displays the inside of the shoulder joint on a video screen, allowing the surgeon to diagnose and treat the problem using specialized small instruments.

Advantages
  • Smaller cuts / Less pain
  • Faster recovery
  • Minimal blood loss
Conditions Treated with Shoulder Arthroscopy
  • Rotator cuff tear
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Shoulder instability / recurrent dislocation
  • SLAP tear
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Typical Recovery Timeline
  • The arm is kept in a sling immediately after surgery
  • Stitches are usually removed after 2 weeks
  • Physiotherapy begins on day one and continue for up to 3 months
