Shoulder Arthroscopy in Malaysia

Shoulder arthroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat shoulder problems with precision. Using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, the surgery is performed through small incisions, resulting in less pain, faster healing, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

At Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia, we specialize in shoulder arthroscopy to help patients recover from injuries, reduce pain, and regain full range of motion.

What Conditions Can Shoulder Arthroscopy Treat?

Shoulder arthroscopy is commonly used for:

  • Rotator cuff repair – reattaching torn tendons
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome – removing bone spurs and relieving pressure
  • Labral repair (Bankart repair) – fixing torn cartilage
  • Frozen shoulder release – improving stiffness and mobility
  • Shoulder instability – stabilizing recurrent dislocations
  • Cartilage and ligament damage – repairing or smoothing damaged tissue

Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy

  • Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Reduced pain and swelling
  • Faster rehabilitation and recovery
  • Lower risk of complications compared to open surgery

Symptoms That May Require Arthroscopy

You may be a candidate for shoulder arthroscopy in Malaysia if you experience:

  • Persistent shoulder pain despite rest or medication
  • Difficulty lifting or rotating your arm
  • Recurrent shoulder dislocations
  • Clicking or locking sensation in the shoulder
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion

The Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure

  1. Diagnosis & Imaging – MRI or ultrasound is used to confirm the condition.

  2. Keyhole Surgery – A small camera is inserted into the joint, and specialized instruments are used for repair.

  3. Recovery – Patients can usually go home the same day, with physiotherapy starting soon after.

Recovery After Shoulder Arthroscopy

  • Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
  • Physiotherapy plays a vital role in restoring strength and mobility.
  • Full recovery for complex repairs (like rotator cuff repair) may take a few months.
