Shoulder arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique using an arthroscope inserted through small portals to diagnose and repair conditions inside the shoulder joint, including rotator cuff tears and labral damage.
SLAP repair
SLAP repair is an arthroscopic surgical procedure that reattaches a torn superior glenoid labrum, where the tear involves the biceps anchor, to the glenoid rim using suture anchors.
