Treatment introduction
Modern people tend to have more stress at work these days. When it comes to shoulder pain, it is crucial to identify the origin of the pain. In most cases, the pain either originates from the spine or shoulder.
Common shoulder problems are rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement syndrome (internal and external), adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (also known as frozen shoulder), habitual dislocation (SLAP tear).
Symptoms may include weakness, activity limitation, and instability. Traditional open surgery requires removing the lesion from the shoulder muscle, which may take a longer time to recover. However, arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive technique, can shorten the hospitalization period and speed up healing time. Therefore, this has become the primary treatment approach for sports medicine in many developed countries.
Indications
Shoulder disorders
Features
Due to the small incision and reduced damage to surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments, the recovery time of arthroscopy is generally less than traditional open surgery.
Many professional athletes who have suffered shoulder conditions often undergo arthroscopic surgery.
