Complications of Shoulder Arthroscopy: Nerve Injury and Infection

Introduction: Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder disorders.

Study Objective: To retrospectively analyze complications following shoulder arthroscopy, focusing on nerve injuries and infections.

Study Design: A retrospective review of patient records, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes.

Nerve Injuries: Assess the incidence, types, and severity of nerve injuries associated with shoulder arthroscopy.

Infections: Evaluate postoperative infection rates, symptoms, and potential contributing factors.

Risk Factors: Identify patient-related, surgical, and procedural factors associated with complications.

Clinical Management: Examine treatment approaches, recovery periods, and outcomes of nerve injuries and infections.

Patient Outcomes: Assess functional recovery, complications-related disability, and the need for additional interventions.

Conclusion: Understanding complications and their risk factors can help improve surgical safety and patient outcomes.
