Shoulder arthroscopy can remove inflamed tissue. It can also treat injuries such as: Biceps tendon injuries. Bone spurs. Frozen shoulder. Labrum tears, injuries to the tissue around your shoulder socket. Osteoarthritis. Rotator cuff tears. Rotator cuff tendinitis. Shoulder impingement syndrome.

In frozen shoulder, the shoulder capsule thickens and becomes stiff and tight. Thick bands of tissue — called adhesions — develop. In many cases, there is less synovial fluid in the joint. The hallmark signs of this condition are severe pain and being unable to move your shoulder — either on your own or with the help of someone else.

2024年11月14日 · Frozen shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition is caused by inflammation that makes your shoulder joint thicken and tighten so it feels stiff and/or painful. Physicians use shoulder arthroscopy to cut through and release tight parts of the joint capsule to restore movement and relieve pain. 7

2025年1月12日 · Adhesive capsulitis (also known as frozen shoulder) is a condition of the shoulder characterized by functional loss of both passive and active shoulder motion commonly associated with diabetes, and thyroid disease. Diagnosis is made clinically with marked reduction of both active and passive range of motion of the shoulder.

2024年11月5日 · The surgeon makes small incisions around the shoulder so they can access the joint, known as an arthroscopy or keyhole surgery. This is done under general anaesthetic. Saline solution (a mixture of sterile water and salt) is pumped into the shoulder joint through a tube to stretch the capsule and allow a clear view inside the joint.

2023年6月14日 · Frozen shoulder, a condition of unknown origin in which the patient develops synovitis and subsequent contracture of the shoulder joint capsule, resulting in a very limited range of motion. In order to restore mobility, the orthopedic surgeon makes small cuts in the tissue to release the contractures.

2020年9月22日 · Arthroscopic capsular release has emerged as a safe and reliable method for treating severe frozen shoulder in patients with significant loss of range of motion. This article describes a reproducible technique for arthroscopic 360° release of the shoulder performed in the lateral decubitus position.

2023年11月7日 · In patients with frozen shoulders, several conservative measures (physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroid injections) are effective for pain control. However, patients with chronic (long-term) shoulder stiffness require arthroscopic capsular release (ACR).

2023年11月30日 · Frozen shoulder (FS) is spontaneous joint capsulitis associated with progressive active and passive limitation. 1 The incidence of primary FS is 2% to 5% in the general population and as high as 10% to 38% in patients with diabetes or hypothyroidism. 2 The highest incidence of FS occurs between the ages of 40 and 60 years, and the incidence of ...
