  2. Arthroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthroscopy

    The surgical instruments are smaller than traditional instruments. Surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor, and can diagnose and repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments. It is technically possible to do an arthroscopic examination of almost every joint, but is most commonly used for the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, foot, and ...

  3. Shoulder surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_surgery

    In some cases, arthroscopic surgery is not enough to fix the injured shoulder. When the shoulder dislocates too many times and is worn down, the ball and socket are not lined up correctly. The socket is worn down and the ball will never sit in it the same. After many dislocations the shoulder bones will begin to wear down and chip away.

  4. Latarjet procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latarjet_procedure

    While the Latarjet procedure can be used for surgical treatment of most cases of shoulder dislocations or subluxation, it is particularly indicated in cases with bone defects. [4] The failure rate following arthroscopic Bankart repair has been shown to dramatically increase from 4% to 67% in patients with significant bone loss. [5]

  5. Mumford procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumford_procedure

    The surgery can be performed through an open or arthroscopic procedure. A regimen of physical therapy following surgery is prescribed and most patients experience full recovery within 8 to 10 weeks post-surgery. [1] The procedure was created by, and named for, orthopedic surgeon Eugene Bishop Mumford in 1941. [2] [3]

    While surgery can be performed as a traditional open procedure, an arthroscopic technique [11] is currently favored being less intrusive with low chance of iatrogenic infection. [12] SLAP Tear Repair of SLAP Tear. Repair of SLAP tear. Associated findings within the shoulder joint are varied, may not be predictable and include:

  7. Acromioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioplasty

    Acromioplasty is an arthroscopic surgical procedure involving the acromion, a bony process of the shoulder blade.. Generally, it implies removal of a small piece of the surface of the acromion that is in contact with a tendon of the rotator cuff causing, by friction, damage to the tendon.

  8. Arthrogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrogram

    Shoulder arthrography can be used to study tears of the rotator cuff, glenoid labrum and biceps. [2] The type of contrast injected into the joint depends on the subsequent imaging that is planned. For pneumoarthrography, gas is used, for CT or radiographs, a water-soluble radiopaque contrast, and for MRI, gadolinium .

  9. Orthopedic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_surgery

    Arthroscopy allows patients to recover from the surgery in a matter of days, rather than the weeks to months required by conventional, "open" surgery; it is a very popular technique. Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common operations performed by orthopedic surgeons today, and is often combined with meniscectomy or chondroplasty.
