Arthroscopic Capsular Release Surgery

Arthroscopic capsular release surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat conditions like frozen shoulder, where shoulder movement is restricted due to thickened tissue around the joint. During the surgery, a small camera and instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. Surgeons carefully cut the tight capsule surrounding the shoulder, releasing the tension and restoring mobility. This procedure helps alleviate pain and improves movement, allowing for better rehabilitation and recovery after surgery. It is often performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can usually go home the same day.
