Shoulder arthroscopy in France
Most shoulder injuries occur as a result of injury, overuse and/or age-related wear and tear.
Shoulder arthroscopy is used to inspect, diagnose and repair problems inside the shoulder joint. The term itself literally means to “look in the joint”.
For the surgery, the surgeon uses a tiny camera, called an arthroscope, to look inside your joint. They may also use the camera to guide surgical instruments and perform techniques.
Because the incision used is significantly reduced in size, subsequent healing is less painful and faster for patients. Shoulder arthroscopy is used when non-surgical alternatives are not possible or haven’t resulted in the desired outcomes.
