Shoulder arthroscopy
minimally invasive surgery
Shoulder arthroscopy is a gentle “buttonhole surgery” technique in which high-resolution surgical cameras and precision tools are inserted into the shoulder joint through small incisions in the skin.
When is shoulder arthroscopy used?
In the case of a narrow shoulder with bursitis (impingement), tears in the muscles near the shoulder joint (rotator cuff) and in the case of calcified shoulder.
What surgical techniques are there?
In the case of shoulder tightness with bursitis (impingement), the inflammatory parts are removed in the course of the arthroscopy and parts of the bony roof of the shoulder are smoothed in order to relieve the pain and increase the range of motion in the joint.
If the rotator cuff ruptures, it is restored using a bone thread anchor.
A calcium deposit is sought out under X-ray control and opened arthroscopically.
