Shoulder Arthroscopy
General description
Orthopedic surgery of this type is performed to examine or repair the tissue inside or around the shoulder joint.
Pre-surgery test requirements are few. If you suffer from a particular condition, related tests must be performed.
Benefits
Shoulder arthroscopy allows the physician to visualize, through small incisions, two anatomical areas: the joint itself and the subacromial space.
Technical description
Procedure – This type of orthopedic surgery follows a procedure in which a camera is inserted into the body through a small incision. If the doctor needs to repair a joint, he will also use small surgical instruments.
Hospitalization – Shoulder arthroscopy does not require an overnight hospital stay.
Time – Shoulder arthroscopy takes 2 hours and does not requires you to stay more than 23 hours in the hospital.
