Shoulder pain can be frustrating, especially when it limits your ability to move, lift, or sleep comfortably. While many shoulder problems respond to medication and physiotherapy, some conditions require a closer look — and shoulder arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive way to diagnose and treat the issue.

Here are the key signs and conditions when shoulder arthroscopy might be the right choice:

🔹 1. Persistent Shoulder Pain

If pain lasts more than a few months despite rest, physiotherapy, or medications, arthroscopy can help identify and fix the internal issue.

🔹 2. Rotator Cuff Tears

Tears in the rotator cuff tendons often need surgical repair, which can be effectively done via arthroscopy for faster healing and minimal scarring.

🔹 3. Repeated Shoulder Dislocations

Frequent dislocations can damage soft tissues like the labrum — shoulder arthroscopy helps in stabilizing the joint.

🔹 4. Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

When tendons are pinched during movement, causing pain and weakness, arthroscopy can relieve pressure and improve function.

🔹 5. Labral Tears (SLAP/Bankart)

Arthroscopic repair is commonly recommended for labral injuries, especially in athletes or active individuals.

✅ Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy

• Minimally invasive

• Smaller incision and faster recovery

• Less pain post-surgery

• High success rate

Knee pain and swelling can result from many causes — two of the most common are meniscus tears and ligament injuries. Though both are serious, they involve different parts of the knee and require different treatments.

Let’s understand the key differences:

🔹 1. What is a Meniscus Tear?

• The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between bones.

• Cause: Twisting motion while bearing weight (sports, sudden turns).

• Symptoms:

  • Locking or catching of the knee

  • Pain along the joint line

  • Swelling after activity

  • Difficulty squatting or bending

🔹 What is a Ligament Injury?

• Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones and provide stability.

• The most commonly injured are the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and PCL.

• Cause: Sudden stop, change of direction, or impact during sports.

• Symptoms:

  • Instability or buckling of the knee

  • Swelling within hours of injury

  • Sharp pain

  • Popping sound at time of injury

🔹 Diagnosis & Treatment

Both conditions can be diagnosed through clinical exam + MRI.

• Meniscus Tear:

  • Minor tears may heal with rest and physiotherapy

  • Larger tears often need arthroscopic meniscus surgery

• Ligament Injury:

  • Partial tears may respond to physiotherapy

  • Complete tears often require arthroscopic ligament reconstruction (e.g., ACL surgery)

✅ Which One Do You Have?

Only an orthopedic specialist can confirm the diagnosis. At Ortho Pro Clinic, Dr. Ravindra Gupta offers accurate diagnosis, MRI guidance, and advanced arthroscopic treatments for both meniscus and ligament injuries.
