Shoulder arthroscopy - or how to repair the rotator cuffs - explained in 3D!
The acromion, which is part of the scapula, is the top of the shoulder. When it is too curved it irritates the shoulder tendons, which are the rotator cuffs, and this rubbing can even result in rupture. A shoulder arthroscopy, carried out through small incisions using a camera to visualize the joint, repairs the tendon and rectifies the excessive rubbing. This operation enables the shoulder to recover mobility and power whilst sparing the other muscles. The pain disappears; recovery is easier.
