What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgery used to diagnose and treat various shoulder injuries, like rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement. Your surgeon will insert a camera through a small incision to find the source of your injury. If shoulder repair is required, the surgeon can insert miniature surgical instruments to restore mobility. This procedure can remove inflamed tissue and treat other shoulder injuries like:
- Bicep tendon injuries
- Bone spurs
- Frozen shoulders
- Labrum tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff tears and tendinitis
- Shoulder instability
Risks Associated With Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder arthroscopy is very safe, but there are some risks, including:
- Blood clots
- Damage to blood vessels or nerves
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
- Swelling
What Should I Expect After Shoulder Surgery?
Shoulder surgery is an outpatient procedure, and you can go home the same day. Although the procedure usually takes less than an hour, your shoulder joint will take weeks to months to completely heal after surgery. You may experience pain and/or swelling for several weeks. Texas Institute of Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine will provide a rehab plan that will suit your specific shoulder surgery.

Shoulder pain can stem from various sources, such as injuries, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. We treat many athletes in the DFW metroplex who have developed shoulder issues due to repetitive motions, as well as others who suffer from conditions like arthritis or frozen shoulder. Identifying and diagnosing the cause of shoulder pain is the first step toward effective treatment and relief.
Shoulder instability occurs when the shoulder joint is overly loose. This can happen due to a sudden injury or gradually from repetitive strain. Symptoms of shoulder instability include pain, weakness, and a feeling of the shoulder giving way. If you notice any of these, seek help from our doctors to prevent further damage.
Rotator cuff injuries are common, especially among athletes and manual laborers. Many can find relief through physical therapy. We’re happy to outline a plan that addresses your pain or limited range of motion. However, some individuals will require more intensive options like rotator cuff repair through surgery. Early intervention will make treatment easier and the recovery process smoother. The surgeries we perform include:
- Shoulder Arthroscopy
- Rotator Cuff Repair
- Stabilization Procedures
- Biceps & Tendon Repair
- Fracture Fixation/Stabilization
- Subacromial Decompression/Distal Clavicle Excision
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure our team uses to diagnose and treat shoulder injuries. When physical therapy and other treatments have proven unsuccessful, this is often the next step. It lets our doctors see inside the shoulder joint using a tiny camera and make precise repairs. Its benefits include fast recovery times and minimal scarring. This procedure can remove inflamed tissue and treat other shoulder injuries like:
- Bicep tendon injuries
- Bone spurs
- Frozen shoulders
- Labrum tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff tears and tendinitis
- Shoulder instability
Shoulder replacement becomes necessary when the joint is severely damaged. This can occur due to significant injuries or even arthritis. The procedure replaces damaged parts of a patient’s shoulder with artificial components that relieve pain and restore function. We’ll go over all of your options before resorting to surgery, but it can greatly improve your quality of life.
There are several types of shoulder replacement. A consultation with our specialists will help determine which is the best choice for your situation. Options include:
- Total Shoulder Replacement – A total shoulder replacement involves replacing the damaged bone and cartilage of the shoulder joint with an artificial implant. It is necessary to treat severe arthritis or other conditions that have caused irreversible joint damage.
- Partial Shoulder Replacement – Also known as a hemiarthroplasty, a partial shoulder replacement involves replacing only part of the shoulder joint with an artificial implant. It is common when the top of the arm bone is damaged but the socket remains healthy.
- Reverse Shoulder Replacement – This specialized procedure involves switching the positions of the ball and socket in the shoulder joint. It restores function after severe rotator cuff tears.
Rest assured, we’ll provide you with a complete plan and make sure you understand what to expect on surgery day. Before we begin your shoulder surgery, we’ll place you under anesthesia. This will ensure your comfort throughout the process. Our doctors will make precise cuts to repair or replace damaged tissues. We may also insert a small camera to get a better look at your joint. After the process is complete, we will continue to monitor your vital signs and administer pain medication if you need it.
Post-surgery care instructions will include a combination of rest, physical therapy, and a gradual return to your normal routine. Recovery times vary, so following our doctors’ instructions and advice regarding therapy sessions and reasonable activity levels is essential. Patience and dedication during your recovery will help you regain strength and mobility safely and effectively.
