Information About Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopy is a way for a surgeon to look into your joint with a camera. The most common type of arthroscopy is arthroscopic knee surgery. Other common arthroscopic surgeries include shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, and hip arthroscopy.

Shoulder Arthroscopy
Find information about shoulder arthroscopy. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be done to treat a variety of shoulder problems. Many patients prefer arthroscopic surgery because of smaller incisions and faster recovery than traditional shoulder surgery.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs
Rotator cuff repairs were traditionally performed through large incisions over the outside of the shoulder. A newer technique, called an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, is a procedure that is done with a television camera (an arthroscope) and allows the surgeon to perform the rotator cuff repair through small incisions.
