Shoulder joints are often injured. The shape can be either rigid, shifted, until shredded. Shoulder injuries are often attacked the athletes. In fact, Sharapova tennis player never fails to defend his title at the Australian Open because of a shoulder injury suffered.
Shoulder injury often experienced by those who frequently perform weight lifting activity and other extreme movements. Sports such as tennis, basketball, volleyball, and other sports that use hand is very vulnerable to a shoulder injury. Initially, the patient may be considered the injuries they experienced as fairness.
But when it reached the stage of injury that can interfere with the activity, the patient will begin to feel 'weak'. Patients will find it increasingly difficult to do something, so that sometimes arises a sense of self-hatred and low self-esteem due to the dependence of life with others.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
To repair the damage caused by a shoulder injury, could be done with arthroscopy procedures. Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure in shoulder surgery using a camera connected to a monitor. As with other endoscopy, advantages of this technique is the minimal incision, safe, comfortable, and just takes care of during the day.Arthroscopy can be applied to disorders caused by sports injuries and stiff joints (frozen shoulder) who failed conservative manner. Frozen shoulder is a shoulder disorder is little or no pain, showed no abnormalities on X-rays, but showed a restriction of movement. Frozen shoulder can be identified with adhesive capsulitis and periarthritis are characterized by limitation of motion, either passively or actively in all patterns of motion.
Arthroscopy procedure can also be applied to a dislocated shoulder that a new (fresh) or long (neglected), which is often out of the shoulder (habitual dislocation of the shoulder), diagnostic shoulder joint abnormalities, muscle rips roof of the shoulder (rotator cuff tear), Bankart lesions, SLAP lesions, calcification of the shoulder joint, loose bone fragments, and impigment syndrome.
Arthroscopy Procedures
The procedure is done if the patient will undergo shoulder arthroscopy is the Pre-Operative Evaluation. It can be shaped blood checks and consultation as needed. Subsequently, the patient will be given a general anesthetic. Action arthroscopy done to the patient in a sitting position or tilted to the healthy side. Furthermore, the hand on the shoulder side of the operation will be wrapped and worn 'sling'. And, patients will only get two cuts of operation, one in front and one behind with a large incision 4 mm.Specifically in the case of older people with complaints such as calcification of the shoulder joint or joint stiffness and impigment syndrome by calcification of the AC joint or ligament Coracoacromiale, arthroscopy procedure will give satisfactory results.
