Shoulder arthroscopy is surgery that uses a tiny camera called an arthroscope to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your shoulder joint. The arthroscope is inserted through a small cut (incision) in your skin.

Arthroscopy may be recommended for these shoulder problems:
A torn or damaged cartilage ring (labrum) or ligaments
Shoulder instability, in which the shoulder joint is loose and slides around too much or becomes dislocated (slips out of the ball and socket joint)
A torn or damaged biceps tendon
A torn rotator cuff
A bone spur or inflammation around the rotator cuff
Inflammation or damaged lining of the joint, often caused by an illness, such as rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis of the end of the clavicle (collarbone)
Loose tissue that needs to be removed
Shoulder impingement syndrome, to make more room for the shoulder to move around

Is your big toe leaning more and more outwards, crowding the smaller toes on your foot? Do your feet hurt after longer walks or often even at the start of the day? Is this pain restricting your flexibility and mobility in your daily activities? Then just like so many of the other - mainly female - patients of our foot and ankle department, you’re suffering from hallux valgus (bunions).

This is very correctable as you can see in the infographic.
