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
Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy
- Reduced shoulder pain
- Improved shoulder movement
- Faster healing compared to open surgery
