Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat various shoulder conditions. This advanced technique allows surgeons to view the shoulder joint through small incisions, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and enabling faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Abhishek Saxena employs state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques using high-definition cameras and specialized instruments. This approach allows for precise visualization and treatment of shoulder conditions through incisions typically less than 1cm in size. The procedure can be performed under regional or general anesthesia, with most patients returning home the same day.

Conditions Treated

• Rotator cuff tears and tendinitis
• Shoulder impingement syndrome
• Labral tears and SLAP lesions
• Shoulder instability and recurrent dislocations
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Biceps tendon disorders

Comprehensive Care Approach

Our shoulder arthroscopy program includes:

• Advanced diagnostic imaging and evaluation
• Customized surgical planning for each patient
• Specialized shoulder rehabilitation protocols
• Regular post-operative monitoring
• Return-to-sport assessment for athletes

Recovery and Outcomes

Recovery from shoulder arthroscopy is typically faster than traditional open surgery. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and progress to full activity by 3-6 months, depending on the procedure performed. Our success rates are excellent, with over 90% of patients reporting significant improvement in shoulder function and reduction in pain following arthroscopic treatment.
