Shoulder Arthroscopy with Subacromial Decompression/Capsule Repair/SLAP Repair

Shoulder Arthroscopy with Subacromial Decompression/Capsule Repair/SLAP Repair is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Shoulder arthroscopy with subacromial decompression, capsule repair, and SLAP (superior labrum anterior and posterior) repair is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing various shoulder issues, including subacromial impingement, capsule instability, and labral tears. During the procedure, small incisions are made around the shoulder joint, and an arthroscope (a small camera) is inserted to visualize the structures inside the joint. The surgeon first performs subacromial decompression to create more space in the shoulder joint, then repairs any instability in the joint capsule, and finally addresses any tears in the labrum, particularly those involving the attachment of the long head of the biceps tendon. This comprehensive approach can help alleviate pain, improve shoulder stability, and restore function to the shoulder joint.
