  3. What is Arthroscopy? Arthroscopy –arthro – “joint” and skopein –”to look”. Arthroscopy is a procedure conducted to examine the joints. The doctor inserts an instrument called an arthroscope that has a small lens at one end into the patient’s shoulder joint to test it. www.praxisorthocare.com

  4. WHAT IS A TORN ROTATOR CUFF? Four tendons attach shoulder blade muscles and ribs to the upper arm. Since these tendons help to rotate the arm, these tendons are called the rotator cuff.  Tears of the rotator cuff of the shoulder are lead to a lot of pain and inability to carry on normal activities. www.praxisorthocare.com

  5. How is a rotator cuff injury diagnosed? • Your doctor will first take a complete health history and do a physical exam. The doctor will then run diagnostic tests such as: • X-ray. • MRI www.praxisorthocare.com

  6. TYPES OF ROTATOR CUFF TEARS • Abnormal motion at the shoulder joint causes friction between the tendons and tissues. Based on the extent of the damage due to the abnormal motion, rotator cuff tears are classified as follows: • Partial-thickness tears • Full-thickness tears www.praxisorthocare.com

  7. HOW IS ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY PERFORMED? • After an initial examination of the rotator cuff reveals a tear, the patient is prepared for arthroscopic surgery. • The surgeon makes a small incision. Now the arthroscope is inserted through the incision.The insides of the shoulder that include bones, tendons, ligaments, and tissues are carefully examined. • The muscles, if found damaged, are removed. The surgeon checks for further damages and performs the repair. • Recovery:The patients may take a few months to recover fully after the surgery. www.praxisorthocare.com

  8. What happens without surgery? Patients who suffer from shoulder rotator cuff pain are unable to carry on routine activities without discomfort. The condition may worsen with time and cause irreparable damage to the rotator cuff. In some cases, it causes arthritis too. www.praxisorthocare.com
