Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive microsurgery in which a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the shoulder joint through a tiny keyhole incision. The camera sends a magnified, high-definition view of the joint to a television monitor, so the surgeon can see the cartilage, ligaments, tendons and labrum clearly. Any pathology inside the joint can be assessed and treated through one or two additional keyhole incisions, without opening the joint widely.
Compared with traditional open surgery, arthroscopy generally means smaller scars, less pain, reduced blood loss, a lower risk of infection and a faster return to daily activities. It is commonly used to treat rotator cuff tears, recurrent shoulder dislocation, labral tears, frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement and loose bodies inside the joint.
