Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the shoulder joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the shoulder through tiny incisions. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a monitor and perform necessary repairs using specialized instruments.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat a variety of shoulder conditions, including:
Rotator cuff tears – Repairing damaged tendons
Labral tears – Fixing cartilage that stabilizes the joint
Shoulder impingement – Removing inflamed tissue or bone spurs
Dislocations and instability – Tightening or reconstructing ligaments
Frozen shoulder – Releasing tight or restricted joint structures
Bone spurs or loose fragments – Removing debris causing pain
This technique offers less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients return to regular activities within a few weeks, depending on the condition treated.
Most patients go home the same day, though hospital stay may vary by procedure.
Light exercise usually resumes within a few weeks, depending on the procedure and recovery progress.
Surgery duration varies based on the procedure but typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
Patients typically begin treatment within 2 weeks after their shoulder arthroscopy procedure—no long waiting lists or delays.
Experience expert-led shoulder care focused on faster recovery, restored mobility, and lasting relief.
Good candidates for shoulder arthroscopy are individuals who experience shoulder pain, stiffness, or instability due to conditions such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, impingement syndrome, or shoulder instability. Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat these issues.
Recovery time after shoulder arthroscopy varies, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 3 to 6 months. Physical therapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in speeding up the recovery process and ensuring a successful outcome.
To ensure the best outcome, follow your surgeon’s pre- and post-operative instructions carefully. Engage in prescribed physical therapy, maintain a healthy weight, avoid high-impact activities, and attend all follow-up appointments.
During shoulder arthroscopy, surgeons use small, specialized instruments, including an arthroscope (a small camera) and surgical tools, to diagnose and treat shoulder problems. These instruments allow for precise and minimally invasive procedures.
The cost of a shoulder arthroscopy procedure can vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon’s expertise. On average, the cost ranges from £4,000 to £8,000 in the UK. Speak to your Patient Co-ordinator about finance options.
