Shoulder arthroscopy is a relatively new medical technique that is widely used in the U.S. for the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder problems such as:

• acromioclavicular joint arthritis
• biceps tendonitis
• bone spurs around the rotator cuff
• “frozen” shoulder
• impingement syndrome
• inflammation of the shoulder joint
• labral tears in the shoulder
• rotator cuff and biceps tendon tears
• shoulder bursitis
• torn or damaged cartilage ring or ligaments

Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure

The development of shoulder arthroscopy was a major advance in the treatment of shoulder joint problems. Before arthroscopy was available, shoulder surgery involved a large incision, an extensive hospital stay, a long recovery period, and a higher level of pain and discomfort.

With shoulder arthroscopy, the surgeon makes a tiny incision (about one-quarter inch long) to insert an arthroscope, which is a very thin viewing instrument made of a tiny camera lens, a video camera, and a light source.

All of the surgical instruments used in arthroscopy are only about three or four millimeters in diameter; thus, no large incision is necessary. Shoulder arthroscopy can even be done on an outpatient basis.

Shoulder Pain Pump for after Arthroscopy

For some people who have had shoulder arthroscopy (including arthroscopic surgery), a shoulder pain pump is inserted to deliver medication to the shoulder joint afterwards, to relieve the post-operative pain. These pumps (e.g., the Stryker pump and the On-Q pump) infuse an analgesic agent such as bupivacaine or lidocaine through a thin catheter.

PAGCL after Shoulder Arthroscopy

In some patients treated with a shoulder pain pump, a debilitating deterioration of the shoulder cartilage has developed, apparently because of the shoulder pain pump itself. The condition is called post-arthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL), and it is a permanent, very painful and disabling injury to the shoulder.

If you have received a diagnosis of PAGCL or another shoulder pain pump injury after treatment, contact a law firm that represents individuals harmed by defective medical devices. You may be eligible for financial compensation for losses such as medical bills and lost work time.
