What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat shoulder joint problems. The surgeon uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions to view and repair tissues inside the shoulder. This technique offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

When is Shoulder Arthroscopy Recommended?

Your doctor may advise shoulder arthroscopy if you have:
👉 Rotator cuff tears
👉 Recurrent shoulder dislocations
👉 Shoulder impingement syndrome
👉 Labral tears (SLAP tear)
👉 Frozen shoulder not improving with non-surgical treatments
👉 Bone spurs or loose fragments causing pain
👉 Shoulder joint infections

How is Shoulder Arthroscopy Performed?

Tiny incisions (about 0.5 cm each) are made around the shoulder.
An arthroscope (small camera) is inserted to see inside the joint.
Specialized instruments are used to clean, repair, or remove damaged tissue.
The procedure is done under regional or general anesthesia.
