What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder Arthroscopy is a modern orthopedic procedure in which a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through tiny incisions to examine and treat conditions inside the shoulder joint.

This technique allows surgeons to repair damaged tissues with minimal trauma, faster recovery, and reduced postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
