Arthroscopy of the shoulder joint
Arthroscopy of the shoulder joint is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to diagnose and treat various diseases and injuries of the shoulder joint.
Bankart injuries, dislocations of the shoulder joint, ruptures of the rotator cuff and instability of the biceps are the main indications for arthroscopy of the shoulder joint.
The procedure is also effective for contractures, adhesive capsulitis and other pathologies that cause pain or movement restriction. Arthroscopic surgery is a modern method of diagnosis and treatment of the shoulder joint. Instruments with powerful optical visualization are introduced through micro-punctures. This allows for a detailed assessment of the condition of the joint from the inside, treatment of damaged structures, resection, arthroscopic sutures, as well as ligament repair. This approach significantly reduces the time of surgery, eliminates the cause of pathology, reduces the risk of tissue damage and speeds up the patient's rehabilitation process.
Common blood and urine tests Uktrasound and MRI of the shoulder joint Consultations with a general practitioner and anesthesiologist
On the day of the surgery, the patient is admitted in the morning and undergoes laryngeal mask anesthesia. A camera and medical tools are inserted through micro punctures into the joint to assess the condition of the internal structures of the joint. Next, stitching, plasty, and fixation of the traumatized area are performed. After the surgery, the patient is transferred to the post anesthesia care unit. The average surgery lasts from 1.5 to 2 hours.
High-quality optics arthroscopes Miniature surgical instruments
After the surgery the patient stays in the inpatient care for 1 to 3-4 days. The arm is secured for 6 weeks to maintain a comfortable position. Partial movement of the arm can start a little earlier, around 4 weeks post-surgery. Physical therapy and physiotherapy procedures (magnetotherapy, shockwave therapy, kinesiotaping, massage) with a progressive increase in shoulder load are mandatory. Restoration of the movement range takes 3 months, activity restrictions may be from 1.5 to 6 months.
Benefits
Minimal invasiveness
Arthroscopy is performed through small punctures, which reduces the risk of complications and accelerates healing.
High accuracy of diagnosis and treatment
The use of optical systems makes it possible to study in detail and accurately process damaged joint structures.
Fast recovery
The minimal trauma of the procedure reduces the time of inpatient stay and accelerates the rehabilitation process.
Good cosmetic effect
Small punctures leave minimal marks, which is especially important for aesthetics.
