Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Arthroscopic Surgery

Pain radiating around the shoulder when lifting the arm, reaching for something, or putting on clothes may not just be fatigue but could be a sign of “shoulder impingement syndrome.” This is commonly seen in patients who repetitively use their arms for extended periods or in elderly patients with degenerative shoulder joints. When the body attempts to repair the deteriorating joint, calcium may accumulate and form bone spurs, which press on the tendons around the shoulder joint, causing chronic pain.

Signs of Shoulder Impingement

Chronic shoulder pain

Feeling deep pain in the shoulder, especially when raising the arm high or reaching behind, such as when putting on a shirt.

Pain when lifting the arm

Pain becomes noticeable when raising the arm above the head, such as combing hair or reaching for something from a high shelf.

Nighttime shoulder pain

Pain is especially noticeable when lying on the affected shoulder, disrupting sleep.

Shoulder noises when moving

Occasionally feeling like the shoulder joint is "sticking" or hearing popping noises when rotating the arm or in certain positions.

Diagnosis

At S Spine & Joint Hospital, we focus on identifying the underlying cause before treatment. Our expert doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation. Every patient with symptoms indicative of musculoskeletal issues must undergo X-ray and MRI scans to assess pain and joint damage, allowing us to choose the most appropriate treatment path.

Treatment Technique

We stand out with our signature S-Quality treatment standard, which consists of three core components:

Specialized Orthopedic Surgeons

🎯 Trained under hospital-standard protocols to ensure precision and safety.

Skilled Medical Support Team

🎯 With deep knowledge of treatment protocols and strong coordination with physicians to shorten recovery times.

Advanced Specialized Technology

🎯 Designed specifically for spine and joint treatments, including world-class surgical tools. The absence of any one component may compromise treatment efficiency.

Treatment Steps

Specialized, cutting-edge technology is designed specifically for spinal and joint treatments, such as state-of-the-art surgical tools from around the world and an open MRI that can adjust angles from lying down to standing. This helps in precise diagnosis and rapid treatment. Missing any of these elements can impact the effectiveness of patient care.

1

Identifying the Cause

Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.

2

Preparation Before Treatment

Patients will receive pre-treatment instructions, such as fasting or informing the doctor of any existing conditions or allergies. A thorough physical examination will also be conducted.

Arthroscopic Shoulder Impingement Surgery

This minimally invasive technique is especially useful for patients with bone spurs pressing on the shoulder tendon or those with a torn shoulder tendon. The doctor uses a small camera to enter the shoulder joint to remove the bone spur and repair any torn tendons.

4

Follow-Up and Recovery

After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient's condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
