  • Title: [Comprehensive arthroscopic management of shoulder osteoarthritis].
    Author: Ríos D, Martetschlager F, Millett PJ.
    Journal: Acta Ortop Mex; 2012; 26(5):310-5. PubMed ID: 24712195.
    Abstract:
    Shoulder osteoarthritis has been considered as a cause of severe pain and loss of shoulder function. Many patients with shoulder osteoarthritis are young and have demanding activities, which leads to questioning the choice of arthroplasty. This is why in this paper we describe the comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) that combines arthroscopic debridement, capsular release, osteoplasty of the lower humeral head, and auxiliary nerve decompression. In our experience this technique has shown short-term promising results as it decreases pain and allows patients to resume high performance demanding activities.
