This procedure, known as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, helps fix tears in the shoulder's rotator cuff. An endoscope, a small camera, is used to view the shoulder inside. Using small tools, the surgeon repairs the torn tissue. This minimally invasive approach often leads to a quicker recovery.

This procedure involves the partial removal of the collar bone at the shoulder using an endoscope, a tool with a light and camera. It's done to relieve pain or improve shoulder movement. The surgeon makes small incisions, then uses the endoscope to guide their work.

An X-ray of the shoulder, 1 view, is a quick, painless test that produces images of the bones and tissues within your shoulder. It helps diagnose conditions such as fractures, infections, or arthritis. You'll be positioned to capture the best view, then a small dose of radiation creates the image.

An X-ray of both collar bone joints is a simple, painless procedure that uses radiation to create images of these areas. It helps doctors diagnose or monitor conditions such as fractures, infections, or arthritis. You'll need to remove any jewelry and may wear a gown. The X-ray machine will be positioned over your collar bones, and you'll need to stay still for a few moments while the images are taken.
