Shoulder Arthroscopy in Gorakhpur

Shoulder Arthroscopy is a surgical process that uses a small camera called an Arthroscope that is inserted through an incision to examine or repair the tissues present inside or around the shoulder. The Arthroscope is interpolated through a small cut (incision) in the skin.

This procedure is also known as Arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Shoulder bursitis: In this process, the surgeon removes the inflamed bursa of the shoulder.

Shoulder bone spurs: In this process, the extra bone growth is removed through Arthroscopy.
