Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery

Rest & Protection
Wounds are kept dry. Patients wear a sling to protect the shoulder and use ice packs to manage mild swelling.
Gentle Motion
Sling usage is reduced. A physiotherapist introduces gentle passive exercises to prevent stiffness.
Strengthening
Active physical therapy focuses on rebuilding muscle strength and restoring full range of motion.
