Shoulder arthroscopy is done using a device containing a tiny camera known as the arthroscope. This is why it is termed as shoulder arthroscopy. It is used to examine tissues around the shoulder joint. If the examination reveals damage, the surgeon uses the arthroscope to treat the area by a cuff/labral repair. The surgeon inserts the arthroscope through a small incision on the shoulder.
