Orthopedic Hand & Elbow Surgeon
Shoulder arthroscopy is a commonly performed minimally invasive procedure that treats many shoulder injuries.
Modern surgical techniques and equipment allow the Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeons at OrthoNeuro to perform shoulder surgeries that were once open procedures now through small incisions.
Procedures are performed on an outpatient basis so that you can return home the same day as your procedure.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery treats the following injuries when they are severe in nature and cannot be improved with non-surgical treatment options:
Bone spur removal: Osteoarthritis causes bone and cartilage inflammation that leads to the development of painful bone spurs.
Labrum tear: The glenoid labrum that holds the shoulder in its socket tears and the shoulder partially or completely dislocates.
Rotator cuff tear: The rotator cuff tendons that stabilize the shoulder and help it move are partially or completely torn.
Your specific injury and lifestyle will determine the surgical approach.
Generally, a procedure will be performed as follows:
Physical therapy is an important part of recovery after arthroscopic shoulder surgery and usually begins in the days following your procedure.
If you have been considering shoulder surgery or experiencing chronic shoulder pain, schedule an appointment with one of our Board Certified Shoulder Specialists at one of our 7 convenient locations throughout Greater Columbus.
We will evaluate your unique lifestyle and goals to determine which type of treatment is best for you. Best of all, most patients can be seen within 24 hours of making an appointment.
