What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows your surgeon to evaluate and in some cases treat certain shoulder conditions.  During the procedure your surgeon will make small incisions in your shoulder called portals.  A tiny camera is then placed in the portals and the interior space of the shoulder can be visualized, proper diagnosis made, and then surgically repaired.
