Arthroscopic Shoulder Decompression

What is Arthroscopic Shoulder Decompression?

This procedure is performed to remove bone spurs and inflamed tissue in the shoulder joint, creating more space for smooth movement. It is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Shoulder impingement syndrome causing chronic pain and stiffness.
• Pain while lifting the arm, reaching overhead, or performing daily activities.
• Swelling or inflammation in the shoulder joint from bursitis or tendonitis.
• Limited range of motion that does not improve with physiotherapy.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The procedure is done under general anesthesia.
• A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the shoulder joint for visualization.
• The surgeon removes excess bone, inflamed tissue, or thickened ligaments.
• The procedure is minimally invasive, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
• Post-surgery rehabilitation is recommended to restore full shoulder function.
