ARTHROSCOPY & SPORTS INJURY ASSOCIATES
OVERVIEW
Brief Introduction
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments.
Overview
Through tiny incisions, the surgeon can repair damaged tissues such as rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, and inflamed tissues. This advanced approach reduces pain, minimizes scarring, and promotes faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Overview
Rotator Cuff Tears
Tears in shoulder tendons causing pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm.
Shoulder Impingement
Compression of shoulder tendons causing pain during overhead movements and daily activities.
Labral Tears
Damage to the cartilage rim of the shoulder socket leading to instability and pain.
Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation
Repeated slipping or dislocation of the shoulder joint due to ligament or labral injury.
Frozen Shoulder
Stiffness and restricted movement due to inflammation and tightening of the shoulder capsule.
Loose Bodies in Shoulder
Small bone or cartilage fragments causing locking, pain, and limited movement.
