Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint.

Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.

Shoulder instability is a chronic condition that causes frequent dislocations of the shoulder joint.

A partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation whereas a complete separation is referred to as a dislocation.
