Shoulder Arthroscopy To Release Scar Tissue

Alabama rates for HCPCS 29825

Keyhole surgery inside the shoulder to free a joint that has become stiff. Through small incisions a camera and fine instruments cut and remove the bands of scar tissue and tight capsule that are blocking movement, and the arm may also be moved through its full range while the patient is asleep. Physiotherapy begins soon afterwards to hold on to the movement gained.
