Shoulder Arthroscopy

Rotator cuff repair, recurrent dislocation and frozen shoulder by arthroscopy.

Shoulder arthroscopy allows most shoulder problems to be diagnosed and treated through small incisions, which means less pain after surgery and a faster return to movement.

Conditions treated arthroscopically

• Rotator cuff tears.
• Recurrent shoulder dislocation and labral injuries.
• Frozen shoulder that does not improve with non-surgical treatment.
• Tendon impingement under the acromion.

What happens during surgery?

A torn tendon is stitched back, or the labrum is fixed in place, using small anchors in the bone. In frozen shoulder, the tight joint capsule is released.

After surgery

• An arm sling for a period set by the surgeon, depending on the repair.
• Staged physiotherapy: gentle movement first, then gradual strengthening.
• Doing the exercises is the most important factor for a good result.

When to book a visit

Night pain, weakness when lifting the arm, or a shoulder that slips out repeatedly are all reasons for an examination and the right imaging.
