Arthroscopy

The surgical technique of arthroscopy makes it possible to examine an entire joint with precisely planned, small skin incisions and to perform an operation that previously required a large skin incision in the same session through these small skin incisions. The surrounding important muscle sheath is not damaged. This surgical method is therefore particularly gentle and the operated joint can be treated with physiotherapy immediately after the operation.

After a shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia, or if drains have been temporarily inserted into the shoulder joint to prevent bruising, the patient remains in the clinic for one day after the procedure. However, it is also possible to perform this procedure on a day-case basis - special methods of pain treatment and the minimally invasive surgical method make this possible.

The patient begins physiotherapy under supervision on the very first day after the operation. To restore the full function of the shoulder joint, regular and frequent training is required after the operation.
