If you are considering a shoulder arthroscopy to treat a sports injury, arthritis, or another condition in your shoulder joint, turn to the Tampa Bay area’s leading orthopaedic experts – Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group. Our Board-certified doctors have a vast range of experience treating shoulder conditions of all kinds for patients ranging from professional athletes with baseball injuries to seniors with degenerative conditions. Our top priority is to provide you with a personalized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle so that you can go back to enjoying the activities you love without shoulder pain.
A shoulder arthroscopy, or shoulder scope, is a minimally invasive procedure that will be performed in an outpatient setting. Shoulder scopes involve fewer risks and allow patients to rehabilitate faster than those who have a more invasive joint surgery. Patients with the following shoulder conditions may be candidates for this type of minimally invasive shoulder procedure:
- Rotator cuff tear
- Labral tear
- Impingement syndrome
- Shoulder instability
- Chronic dislocations
- Osteoarthritis
- Bone spurs
- Tennis shoulder
- Fracture
- Cysts
The orthopaedic surgeon at our clinic, Dr. Daniel Murphy, will evaluate your condition carefully and explain all of your treatment options to you. Sometimes, nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and pharmacological therapy can prove effective at minimizing your pain and restoring shoulder mobility. However, in the event that a shoulder arthroscopy offers the best chance to fix your injury, our expert medical staff will assist you throughout every stage of the surgical process.
