What is shoulder replacement surgery?
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder conditions. This advanced technique allows for greater precision, minimal tissue damage and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Dr. Arjona performs shoulder arthroscopy to treat:
Rotator cuff tears
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that stabilize and move the shoulder joint. A rotator cuff tear can cause severe pain, weakness, and limited mobility, making it difficult to lift objects or extend your hand above your head. During arthroscopic surgery, Dr. Arjona removes damaged tissue, reattaches broken tendons to bone using sutures and anchors, and smoothes any rough surfaces to restore strength and function to the shoulder.
Labral Tears (SLAP or Bankart injuries)
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder cavity and provides stability and cushioning. Anterior and posterior upper labrum tears (SLAP) are common in athletes and occur in the upper part of the labrum, often as a result of repetitive movements above the head. Bankart injuries involve labral damage in the front of the shoulder, usually due to dislocations. Arthroscopic techniques allow Dr. Arjona to repair or rebuild the torn labrum using anchors and sutures, improving joint stability and preventing new injuries.
Shoulder impingement syndrome
This condition occurs when rotator cuff tendons and surrounding tissues squeeze between the shoulder bones, causing pain, swelling, and restricted movement. Shoulder impingement is common in people who do repetitive activities above their head. During arthroscopy, Dr. Arjona removes inflamed tissue, shaves off excess bone in the acromion (a part of the shoulder blade), and creates more space for the tendons to move freely, relieving pain and restoring range of motion.
Shoulder instability and dislocations
When the shoulder joint becomes unstable or dislocated repeatedly, the ligaments, labrum, and joint capsule may stretch or tear. This can cause chronic instability, pain, and weakness, making everyday activities difficult. Through arthroscopy, Dr. Arjona tightens the stretched ligaments, repositions the torn tissue and reinforces the joint capsule, restoring stability and preventing future dislocations.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
This condition causes progressive stiffness, pain, and loss of motion due to the thickening and hardening of the joint capsule. It can occur after an injury, surgery, or because of underlying medical conditions. Arthroscopic surgery allows Dr. Arjona to carefully release tight joint structures and eliminate adhesions, improving range of motion and reducing pain. After surgery, a structured rehabilitation program is followed to ensure gradual and sustained improvement.

Recovery and post-surgical care
Shoulder arthroscopy recovery is a structured process that focuses on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and strengthening the shoulder joint. While recovery time varies depending on the procedure performed, most patients experience significant improvement within a few weeks and recover full function within 3 to 6 months. Dr. Arjona offers a personalized rehabilitation plan to ensure optimal healing and a smooth transition to daily activities.
With dedicated physical therapy and expert follow-up care, patients can expect progressive improvements in shoulder mobility, reduced pain and restored function, allowing them to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
