• Glenohumeral Debridement

Glenohumeral Debridement

Glenohumeral Debridement is used to remove tissue in the shoulder that has been damaged due to arthritis. The surgeon creates small incisions into the shoulder to allow for an arthroscopic camera to be inserted. Fluid is then injected to expand the shoulder joint and provide a clear view. While inside the shoulder, the surgeon will file down bone spurs and remove loose cartilage.
