Arthroscopic joint operations: Arthroscopic refixation and plasty of the capsular ligaments in the shoulder joint: Refixation of the glenoid labrum by other method
The thin layer of cartilage at the edge of the glenoid cavity in your shoulder joint has been firmly reattached to the bone.
The shoulder joint is the joint between the shoulder blade and the humerus. The glenoid cavity is a flat recess in the shoulder blade in which the humerus sits. The edge of the glenoid cavity is encircled by a thin layer of cartilage which slightly enlarges the surface of the joint. This stabilizes the shoulder joint.
If the thin layer of cartilage at the edge of the glenoid cavity becomes partly or wholly detached, the shoulder joint can become unstable. The thin layer of cartilage at the edge of your glenoid cavity has been reattached during an arthroscopy.
An arthroscopy first involves making a small incision in the skin. A camera was pushed through this incision. This camera sends images of the inside of the joint to a screen. Instruments such as forceps and scissors can be inserted into the joint through other small incisions.
