Surgeries That are Used to Treat Shoulder Injuries

Surgery may be very important for one individual to have many problems associated with a shoulder injury. There can be an invasive range of procedures. It can be inserted through keyhole incisions to more of the traditional open surgeries using a scalpel and sutures, and along with this, each approach has its own pros, cons, limitations and appropriate uses, and many other key factors. It should be the shoulder replacement and arthroscopy and ortho doctor who can help you to get rid of this problem. At any cost, you should be aware of all the consequences that you can, later on, have to face, and they could be both positive and negative.

• Arthroscopy for Impingement Syndrome    

One of the most common reasons behind the fact that now a day, people have to adopt the surgeries like shoulder surgery is that they suffer from impingement syndrome. This is a condition in which the tendons of your rotator cuff are intermittently trapped and compressed. The cause can be when you sometimes do not sleep well and the cushions inside the joint space.

This surgical process may be performed in isolation or as a part of a rotator cuff surgery and, by doing so, creates space for the rotator cuff to glide without getting pinched between bones.    

• Arthroscopic SLAP Repair  

It is an injury to the rim of the cartilage that encircles the shoulder socket, called the labarum. The term SLAP means the Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior of the labrum. This portion is especially important because it serves as the attachment point of the biceps tendon. It also may be used as the restoring and healing power to the back of its position at the rim of the shoulder pocket. Once it is repositioned, it sutures would secure the bone of the cartilage. If the damage extends into the biceps tendon, additional surgery may be needed.

• Arthroscopy for shoulder dislocation 

It is commonly seen among young athletes that they undergo such practice sometimes that there can be some severe injury sometimes, and it can be due to shoulder dislocation. Other cases involved in this consist of the condition, which is also called multi-directional instability, and it can further result in dislocation later on.
