class="img-fluid"/><div><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">The shoulder is much more than a limb joint. From carrying the weight of the world to offering support for someone to cry on, a shoulder is more of a responsibility. An injury to the joint makes one vulnerable as it affects the movement, daily life, and temperament. But every problem has a solution, so does shoulder injury; Shoulder arthroscopy is one such solution.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?</h3><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">A combination of Greek words ‘arthro’ (joint) and ‘skopein’ (to look), arthroscopy means ‘to look within the joint’. Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure where the orthopaedic surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) into the patient’s shoulder joint through very small incisions, inspect, diagnose and treat the problem inside the joint. Since the cuts are considerably smaller than that of the standard open surgery, Shoulder arthroscopy is favoured for features like lesser pain, lesser complexity and lesser recovery time.</p><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">Performed since the 1970s, Shoulder arthroscopy has undergone great advances in the years, adding the latest instruments and techniques to it every year. What first started as an alternative to the complex open knee surgery grew to cover every joint in the body.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">What happens during Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure?</h3><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">The tiny camera inserted through the incision displays pictures on a video monitor, guiding the surgical instruments properly. After making the cuts, the joint is filled with sterile fluid to enable the clear vision of the insides. As the surgeon can observe the insides of the joint in real-time, the surgery is safe and flawless. Most likely, the patient will be under general anesthesia. Being minimally invasive, the procedure helps the surgeon evaluate anatomic structures in a potentially risk-free environment. Greatest advantage is that a 360 degree view and evaluation is possible with this surgery compared to open surgery.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">When is Shoulder Arthroscopy Recommended?</h3><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">Most shoulder problems are caused by injury, overuse and age-related wear and tear. Shoulder arthroscopy is advised only when non-surgical intervention methods like rest, physiotherapy and medications fail to have the desired effects on the patient. The procedure is performed on persons who suffer from:</p><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Anterior stabilization(Bankarts repair)</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Rotator cuff tears</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Glenoid Labrum Tears (SLAP tear)</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Subacromial Decompression</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Capsular release</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Shoulder impingement</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Early Arthritis</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">AC Joint resection</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Loose bodies</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Bursitis and synovitis</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Tendonitis (bicipital and calcific)</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Benefits of arthroscopic shoulder surgery</h3><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Minimum incision: Since it requires only minimum punctures and incisions, it leaves the patient almost scar-free, resulting in lesser pain and quicker recovery and rehabilitation.</li><li style="text-align: justify; line-height: 24px;">Quicker recovery: The patient is advised to be in a sling or shoulder immobilizer for some time along with directives to take rest, anti-inflammatory medicines and ice pack.

From carrying the weight of the world to offering support for someone to cry on, a shoulder is more of a responsibility. An injury to the joint makes one vulnerable as it affects the movement, daily life, and temperament. But every problem has a solution, so does shoulder injury; Shoulder arthroscopy is one such solution.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhat is Shoulder Arthroscopy?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eA combination of Greek words ‘arthro’ (joint) and ‘skopein’ (to look), arthroscopy means ‘to look within the joint’. Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure where the orthopaedic surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) into the patient’s shoulder joint through very small incisions, inspect, diagnose and treat the problem inside the joint. Since the cuts are considerably smaller than that of the standard open surgery, Shoulder arthroscopy is favoured for features like lesser pain, lesser complexity and lesser recovery time.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003ePerformed since the 1970s, Shoulder arthroscopy has undergone great advances in the years, adding the latest instruments and techniques to it every year. What first started as an alternative to the complex open knee surgery grew to cover every joint in the body.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhat happens during Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eThe tiny camera inserted through the incision displays pictures on a video monitor, guiding the surgical instruments properly. After making the cuts, the joint is filled with sterile fluid to enable the clear vision of the insides. As the surgeon can observe the insides of the joint in real-time, the surgery is safe and flawless. Most likely, the patient will be under general anesthesia. Being minimally invasive, the procedure helps the surgeon evaluate anatomic structures in a potentially risk-free environment. Greatest advantage is that a 360 degree view and evaluation is possible with this surgery compared to open surgery.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhen is Shoulder Arthroscopy Recommended?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eMost shoulder problems are caused by injury, overuse and age-related wear and tear.

From carrying the weight of the world to offering support for someone to cry on, a shoulder is more of a responsibility. An injury to the joint makes one vulnerable as it affects the movement, daily life, and temperament. But every problem has a solution, so does shoulder injury; Shoulder arthroscopy is one such solution.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhat is Shoulder Arthroscopy?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eA combination of Greek words ‘arthro’ (joint) and ‘skopein’ (to look), arthroscopy means ‘to look within the joint’. Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure where the orthopaedic surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) into the patient’s shoulder joint through very small incisions, inspect, diagnose and treat the problem inside the joint. Since the cuts are considerably smaller than that of the standard open surgery, Shoulder arthroscopy is favoured for features like lesser pain, lesser complexity and lesser recovery time.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003ePerformed since the 1970s, Shoulder arthroscopy has undergone great advances in the years, adding the latest instruments and techniques to it every year. What first started as an alternative to the complex open knee surgery grew to cover every joint in the body.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhat happens during Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eThe tiny camera inserted through the incision displays pictures on a video monitor, guiding the surgical instruments properly. After making the cuts, the joint is filled with sterile fluid to enable the clear vision of the insides. As the surgeon can observe the insides of the joint in real-time, the surgery is safe and flawless. Most likely, the patient will be under general anesthesia. Being minimally invasive, the procedure helps the surgeon evaluate anatomic structures in a potentially risk-free environment. Greatest advantage is that a 360 degree view and evaluation is possible with this surgery compared to open surgery.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: justify; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhen is Shoulder Arthroscopy Recommended?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eMost shoulder problems are caused by injury, overuse and age-related wear and tear.
