Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery to treat shoulder problems, including shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tears. The procedure usually takes less than an hour.

2021年12月20日 · Rotator cuff surgery is performed arthroscopically. In a shoulder arthroscopy, small incisions are made and an arthroscope − a small tube fixed with a camera – is navigated …

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, or shoulder arthroscopy, is a valuable tool to treat rotator cuff tears. Using the scope, an experienced surgeon who is facile with arthroscopic techniques can evaluate the entire shoulder joint and can usually fix the tear through very small incisions using specially-designed instruments and devices.

For rotator cuff injuries, what used to be done through an open surgery approach, which is traditionally what one thinks of as surgery when skin and tissue are cut, can now be done through a minimally invasive, or arthroscopic approach, in which surgeons insert a tiny camera (arthroscope) and tools through small incisions.

2023年6月5日 · After making one or two very small cuts in your skin, a surgeon will insert a tiny camera called an arthroscope and special, thin tools into your shoulder. These will let them …

Surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff most often involves re-attaching the tendon to the head of humerus (upper arm bone). A partial tear, however, may need only a trimming or smoothing procedure called a debridement. This article contains details about these and other surgical treatments commonly used for rotator cuff tears.

Latest Techniques in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery Continued advancements and surgeon experience with arthroscopic techniques have led to the ability to perform a broader range of operations in an arthroscopic manner.

2024年11月14日 · Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that can repair a torn rotator cuff. Some rotator cuff procedures require open surgery with a larger incision and longer recovery.

Common arthroscopic procedures include: Less common procedures such as nerve release, fracture repair, and cyst excision can also be performed using an arthroscope.

3 天之前 · The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes of large and massive rotator cuff tears treated with a knotless double-row transosseus equivalent repair. It is hypothesized that there will be statistically significant improvement in pain, range of motion, and function over time.
