What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

                   Shoulder Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy, or minimally invasive "keyhole" surgery, allows the surgeon to view the shoulder joint, make an accurate diagnosis, and treat the condition with surgery that requires very small incisions in the skin. Small skin incisions and visualize the shoulder with a camera. Since this technique puts less strain on the shoulder joint than open surgery, the hospital stay is shorter and recovery is smoother than with "open surgery". 

What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?


 There are several diseases that can be treated with arthroscopic shoulder surgery: 

  •  Rotator cuff tears  
  •  Shoulder impingement 
  •  Frozen shoulder 
  •  Shoulder dislocations or instability 
  •  Cartilage or labral tears  
  •  SLAP lesions  
  •  Bankart lesions 
  •  Loose particles in the joint  
  •  Calcific Tendonitis
  •  Infections  Biceps
  •  Tendinopathy   
Doctors will need some preoperative tests to make sure you are fit for general anesthesia. Doctors will ask you to fill out some questionnaires before the operation. Doctors are part of an international group that studies the results of various operations to ensure that the operation results are satisfactory. Doctors will have you fill out similar questionnaires at the end of your treatment. On the morning of the operation, you will be admitted to the hospital. You must remove all of the rings from your hand before the operation. 

Cuts required in the Surgery:

There are usually three (3) very small cuts in the shoulder, occasionally up to six ( 6) small cuts if the surgery has multiple facets. 

Discharge Time:

Patients are usually discharged home the same day or the morning after the operation.  Arthroscopic capsular release is performed in cases of stiff shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) that does not settle with conservative treatment. 

Procedure Introduction:

In this operation, a radiofrequency device is used through 23 puncture holes to cut the thick, contracted capsule of the shoulder, resulting in an immediate improvement in shoulder movements. As the inflammation subsides, so does the pain. Then the puncture holes are closed with 1 stitch each and the arm is placed in a sling. Patients are discharged the same day or the next morning. Aggressive exercises are started. The sling is hung up after a few days. The sutures are removed 2 weeks after the operation. The exercises are essential for at least 3 months in order to maintain full movements without pain.  

Rotator cuff repair:

Rotator cuff repair is required when the rotator cuff tendons are torn as a result of shoulder injury, overuse, or impingement. Patients experience pain and weakness when lifting their arm. The repair is usually carried out arthroscopically (keyhole technique). 
Open surgery is rarely required, with the help of 36 small puncture holes. We visualize the crack with a camera, sew on small screws with stressed points, and then insert them into the bone. they are sewn into the bone with these stitches.At the same time, the bony arch over the tendons (acromion) is shaved to allow the rotator cuff tendons to slide freely, which is known as subacromial decompression. You will be discharged from the hospital the same day or the next morning after the operation. Progressive exercises start the day after surgery. 

Recovery Time:

It takes at least 36 months for the shoulder to regain its strength.You will be ready to practice contact sports about 9 months after the operation. The suture anchors used are usually made of bioabsorbable materials and do not have to be removed later.

The Scary Reality about Activated Charcoal for the Skin

  The Scary Reality about Activated Charcoal for the Skin Activated Charcoal Introduction: What is Activated Charcoal and Why is it Dangerous? Activated charcoal is a carbon-based product that is used in medicine to treat poisoning from drugs, chemicals, and other toxins. It is also used in air purifiers to filter odors. In the past, activated charcoal has been used as a treatment for people with stomach aches or gas because it can help stop them from vomiting or having diarrhea. However, because activated charcoal can also bind medications and other medicines in the digestive tract so they are not absorbed by the body, many doctors no longer recommend this treatment. The use of activated carbon as a medical treatment was first documented by James Lind in 1757 who showed it could be used to treat scurvy on long sea voyages with fresh fruit. What are the Benefits of Activated Charcoal for the Skin? Activated charcoal is a type of carbon that has been processed to give it many intern...

THE SIGNIFICANT ROLES OF ANIMAL BREEDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMAL AGRICULTURE

Animal breeding, genetics, and genomics is the branch of science concerned with maximizing desirable genetic traits, such as producing animals that have leaner meat. Animal geneticists have identified elements within genes that can enhance animal growth, health, and ability to utilize nutrients. These genetic advances can increase production while reducing environmental impacts . IMPORTANCE OF ANIMAL HUSBANDING Animals and farm animals contribute 40 percent of the world value of agricultural production and contribute to the livelihood and food security of almost a billion people worldwide. Advances in animal husbandry, genetics, and genomics make the industry more efficient. For example, livestock has declined over the past decade, but overall meat and milk production has increased. This was mainly possible because genetic advances resulted in better feed efficiency (link is external), which is critical to improving livestock production and reducing costs for producers.

Three Easy Steps For Wait Loss

  STEP ONE: AVOID COUNTING CALORIES DIET PLANS   Typical diet plans set a daily calorie goal. Dieters are expected to keep their intake within a certain range each day with meals that contain all of the vital nutrients their bodies need to thrive. many dieters can fail before they even start. We recommend a completely different approach to calorie counting.    Why is a daily count the wrong way to approach food intake?   Every food has a different calorie content. Unless you eat almost the same thing every day, it is difficult to keep track of how much you are consuming without careful monitoring.  From friends to vacations, there are some times the dieters just cannot keep a strict daily count without sacrificing the enjoyment of social situations.  To avoid temptation, many diet plans call for a "cheat day," which allows the dieter to eat what he wants without counting calories.It is possible to stick to a restrictive daily number of calori...

BRIEF PARAGRAPHS ON SUGAR BEET

  A sugar beet is a plant that is grown commercially for sugar production and has a high concentration of sucrose in its root. The Altissima cultiva group of the common beet is known in plant breeding (Betavulgaris). It belongs to the subspecies Beta vulgaris subsp. Vulgaris, along with other beet cultivars like beetroot and chard. The sea beet is its closest wild relative (Beta vulgaris subsp. Maritima). The sugar beet has a flat crown and a conical, white, fleshy root (a taproot). The root and a rosette of leaves make up the plant. Photosynthesis produces sugar in the leaves, which is ultimately stored in the root. The beet root is 75 percent water, 20 percent sugar (or 18 percent sugar), and 5 percent pulp. Depending on the cultivar and growth conditions, the sugar concentration might range from 12 percent to 21 percent. Sugar beet is primarily used as a commercial crop because of its high sugar content. Animal feed is made from the pulp, which is insoluble in water and mostly m...
