- Shoulder Arthroscopy In Balaghat
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgery that uses a very tiny camera called an arthroscope to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your shoulder joint. The arthroscope is inserted through a small cut incision in your skin.The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons hold the arm in the shoulder joint.
This is also helps the shoulder move in the different directions. The tendons in the rotator cuff can tear when they are overused or injured.
Surgery for shoulder instability:
If you have a torn labrum, the surgeon will repair it.
- The labrum is the cartilage that lines the rim of the shoulder joint.
- Ligaments that attach to this area will also be repaired.
- part of the glenoid bone where it can be broken off
- .A SLAP lesion involves the labrum and the ligament on the top part of the shoulder joint.

Anesthesia
Shoulder arthroscopy may be performed using a regional nerve block, which numbs your shoulder and arm. This numbing medicine is injected in the base of your neck or high on your shoulder. This is the where the nerves that control feeling in your shoulder and arm are located. In addition to its use as an anesthetic during surgery, a nerve block will help can control pain for several hours after the surgery is completed.
Many surgeons combine nerve blocks with a light general anesthetic because patients can become uncomfortable staying in one position for the length of time needed to complete the surgery. General anesthesia puts you to sleep.
Most arthroscopic procedures take less than 2 and half hours. However, the length of your surgery will depend on what your surgeon finds and what repairs are required.
