Shoulder surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating various shoulder conditions, including injuries, degenerative diseases, and structural abnormalities. Common shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder stabilization for dislocations, and shoulder replacement.

Rotator cuff repair involves repairing tears in the rotator cuff tendons, which can occur due to injury or degeneration. Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder problems, such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and shoulder impingement syndrome.

Shoulder stabilization surgery is performed to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability by tightening or repairing the ligaments and capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, involves replacing damaged or arthritic shoulder joints with artificial implants to restore function and alleviate pain.
