Shoulder arthroscopy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to look inside the shoulder joint using a small camera called an arthroscope. The surgeon makes small cuts in the skin to insert the camera and tiny tools. This surgery helps diagnose and treat shoulder problems, like tears in the rotator cuff or loose cartilage, with less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

1 Rotator Cuff Tear

A rotator cuff tear is an injury to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Our experienced surgeons at Aadhya Hospital specialize in repairing these tears using advanced techniques, helping patients regain strength and function in their shoulders.

2 Recurrent Dislocation

This procedure is used to address recurring shoulder dislocations, a condition where the ball of the shoulder joint repeatedly comes out of the socket. In arthroscopic surgery, the surgeon may repair or tighten the ligaments, such as the labrum or capsule, to stabilize the shoulder joint and reduce the chances of future dislocations. It is often a preferred method because it involves smaller incisions, reduced recovery time, and less risk of complications.

3 Subacromial Decompression:

This type of arthroscopy is performed to treat conditions like rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement syndrome, or bursal thickening. The procedure involves removing or shaving off bone spurs and soft tissue that may be irritating or compressing the rotator cuff tendons under the acromion (the top part of the shoulder blade). This helps to alleviate pain, improve shoulder movement, and reduce inflammation.

4 Biceps Tenotomy / Tenodesis:

Biceps Tenotomy : involves cutting the long head of the biceps tendon at its attachment point on the shoulder to relieve pain or irritation, typically caused by biceps tendonitis or labral tears.
Biceps Tenodesis : is a slightly more involved procedure where the biceps tendon is not just cut but is reattached to a different part of the humerus bone to restore its function and alleviate pain. Both procedures are aimed at addressing biceps tendon issues while minimizing the risk of shoulder instability and maintaining strength and mobility.

When should you do it?

Shoulder conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, Bankart lesions, and dislocations can greatly affect mobility. A frozen shoulder leads to stiffness and pain, requiring surgery if therapy and medications fail. Rotator cuff tears cause ongoing pain and weakness, with surgery recommended if conservative treatments don't work. A Bankart lesion, a tear in the shoulder cartilage from dislocation, results in instability, needing surgical repair for recurrent issues. Lastly, shoulder dislocations occur when the upper arm bone slips out of the socket, often requiring surgery if they happen frequently or do not improve with conservative treatment.
