      The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile joints in human anatomy. Due to its wide range of motion, damage to the shoulder joints may occur. Shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive method, is used to examine and treat damages to the shoulders.

      Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimal invasive surgical procedure performed through small incisions and arthroscopic hand instruments. This procedure, performed under general anesthesia, takes betwen 1 to 2 hours.

      Shoulder arthroscopy treats conditions such as shoulder impingement, recurrent shoulder dislocations, calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff tears and shoulder muscle tears.

      Shoulder arthroscopy is recommended for hearing noise in the joints, arm weakness, limitation of movement, and shoulder pain that does not go away despite physical therapy and medications.

      Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure performed by entering the shoulder through small incisions with special surgical instruments. Arthroscopic surgeries are closed surgeries. This surgery, performed under general anesthesia, takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Pre-assessment phase involves checking past-treatment records, conducting pre-examinations tests and consultation, checking blood tests, ECG (Electrocardiography), computed tomography (CT Scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray readings and holding a seperate anesthesiologist consultation.
      Extra tests could be required to be conducted in case patient has any other existing or underlying medical condition.
      We endevaour to evaluate all possible risk factors by carefully dissecting all individual biological and clinical parameters in terms of conducting wide range of tests and gathering all records pertaining patients past medical and current conditions.

      ANESTHESIA

      General anesthesia are the most common types of anesthesia is applied.

      SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY TECHNIQUE

      After anesthesia is applied, 1 cm incisions are made on the shoulder. A handpiece with a scope tip camera and other hand tools are inserted through these incisions. With the help of a camera, the inside of the shoulder is reflected on the screen and the problem in the shoulder is investigated. Once the discomfort is detected, the necessary surgical procedures are performed and the procedure is terminated.

      Recovery From Shoulder Arthroscopy In Turkey

      Individuals stay in the hospital for 1 night. After surgery, individuals must protect their arms by using an arm sling for 4 to 6 weeks. After surgery, individuals are recommended physical therapy to strengthen their shoulder muscles and regain mobility. Physical therapy positively affects the healing process. Although individuals can start using their shoulder joints after 3 months, complete recovery may take up to 6 months.

      Benefits Of Shoulder Arthroscopy In Turkey

      Shoulder joints, which have a wide range of motion and are the most mobile joints, can be damaged due to sudden movements, strains and impacts. In this case, individuals experience conditions such as muscle weakness, limitation of movement and pain. In this case, shoulder arthroscopy is performed to investigate the discomfort in the shoulder. At the same time, shoulder arthroscopy is also used to treat shoulder disorders that do not go away despite physical therapy and medications. In this way, the symptoms experienced by individuals due to shoulder disorders are improved and shoulder movements are restored. Since the amount of arthroscopy performed is minimal, the recovery time is quite short and the scarring is quite minimal.
