Description
Garrett R. Jackson and co-authors review, in 2026, using a camera probe inside the shoulder to investigate pain after shoulder replacement surgery. Pain, stiffness, or suspected infection after joint replacement is a hard problem. Keyhole inspection offers a low-invasive way to look and sometimes to treat. It applies across total, reverse, and partial replacements.
Reported uses span loose socket components, worn plastic, rotator cuff and biceps problems, stiffness, impingement, and suspected joint infection. Outcomes suggest relief for selected patients, especially after socket removal, biceps procedures, and releases of scar tissue. Tissue samples taken through the scope beat needle aspiration and blood markers for diagnosing infection. The authors detail entry strategies that protect the implant, while noting the scope cannot replace revision when failure is clear-cut.
