Shoulder debridement: a surgical procedure for joint health
Shoulder debridement is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of damaged or diseased tissue from the shoulder joint. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement syndrome, and shoulder arthritis. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the shoulder area and use specialized tools to remove the damaged tissue. The procedure may also involve the removal of bone spurs or other obstructions that may be causing pain or limiting mobility in the shoulder joint. After the procedure is complete, patients may need to undergo physical therapy to help restore strength and mobility to the shoulder. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day as the surgery.
