Shoulder Arthroscopy in Hollywood, FL to Restore Shoulder Function and Reduce Pain

Whether you're recovering from a sports injury or managing chronic discomfort, shoulder pain can seriously interfere with your everyday life. At Core Alliance in Hollywood, FL, we specialize in advanced shoulder arthroscopy performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Aron Rovner.

This minimally invasive approach allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment through small incisions, preserving surrounding tissues and promoting quicker healing. Schedule a consultation today to explore whether shoulder arthroscopy is right for you.

What Is Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a modern surgical technique that uses a slender camera, called an arthroscope, along with small surgical instruments to inspect and treat damage within the shoulder joint. This approach requires only a few small incisions rather than a large open cut, minimizing trauma and improving recovery outcomes.

At our Hollywood, FL, location, shoulder arthroscopy is commonly used to address issues like rotator cuff tears, labral damage, shoulder impingement, and joint instability. Compared to traditional shoulder surgery, this procedure offers less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to physical activity.

Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy

This technique offers multiple benefits for patients undergoing shoulder surgery in Hollywood, FL. At Core Alliance, the advantages include:

  • Minimally Invasive Access: The use of small incisions results in less damage to soft tissues and muscle structures.
  • Faster Recovery Time: Patients generally return to work or sports sooner than those who undergo open shoulder surgery.
  • Less Post-Operative Pain: Reduced trauma to the shoulder means less discomfort and fewer pain medications during recovery.
  • Lower Risk of Complications: A more targeted and controlled approach reduces the chances of infection and excessive bleeding.
  • Improved Surgical Accuracy: Real-time visualization of the joint enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment precision.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Ideal candidates for shoulder arthroscopy are patients with persistent pain, reduced shoulder function, or instability that hasn’t improved with conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections. Individuals with labral tears, tendon damage, or repetitive-use injuries—especially athletes and manual laborers—often benefit from this minimally invasive procedure.

At our Hollywood, FL, office, we perform a full assessment to determine whether shoulder arthroscopy is the best course of action.

Your Consultation

At Core Alliance, your care begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rovner. This visit includes a detailed physical exam, a review of your medical history, and imaging such as X-rays or MRIs. If shoulder arthroscopy in Hollywood, FL, is the right solution, we’ll develop a personalized surgical and recovery plan designed around your needs and lifestyle.

“Surgeon Aron Rovner, MD, is simply amazing. He is incredibly skilled, insightful, caring, and kind. Dr. Rovner takes the time to fully discuss the treatment, and his surgical skills are truly miraculous. Dr. Rovner performed two complicated spinal epidurals on me for both lumbar and intense sciatica nerve obstructions in both NJ and FL, with perfect results and incredible pain management. If you are seeking the very best, you’ve found him. Thank you, doctor.”

What to Expect During Your Shoulder Arthroscopy

The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis at our Hollywood, FL, facility and is performed under general or regional anesthesia. Dr. Rovner creates a few small incisions to insert the arthroscope and specialized tools, allowing for a close-up view and treatment of the joint’s internal structures.

Depending on your diagnosis, the procedure may involve trimming damaged tissue, repairing torn tendons, or removing bone spurs. Most surgeries last less than two hours, and you can return home the same day with care instructions and a shoulder sling.

What Is the Recovery Like After Shoulder Arthroscopy?

Recovery after shoulder arthroscopy in Hollywood, FL, varies depending on the condition treated. Some soreness and swelling are normal, but most patients notice improvement within the first few days. Physical therapy typically begins shortly after surgery to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Complete recovery can take several weeks to a few months, especially if a significant repair was made. Our team provides detailed guidance and support to ensure a smooth recovery.

How Much Does Shoulder Arthroscopy Cost?

Costs can vary based on procedure complexity, insurance coverage, and any additional services required. Our Hollywood, FL, staff will walk you through your insurance benefits and provide a clear breakdown of any out-of-pocket expenses during your consultation.

Alternatives to Shoulder Arthroscopy

Not every shoulder condition requires surgery. At Core Alliance, we explore conservative therapies first, such as physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or rest. For severe or complex issues that can’t be addressed arthroscopically, open shoulder surgery may be recommended.

Our Hollywood-based orthopedic team is here to help you explore every option and make an informed decision that aligns with your goals.

Focus Areas Within Shoulder Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic Labral Repair

This procedure repairs and stabilizes the torn cartilage (labrum) surrounding the shoulder socket, helping to prevent dislocations and restore joint strength and stability.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

During this procedure, the surgeon reattaches torn rotator cuff tendons to the bone, which helps improve shoulder mobility and relieve chronic pain.

Labrum Tear Treatment

Treatment for a labrum tear may involve debridement, reconstruction, or a full labral repair, depending on the size and location of the injury, to restore proper joint function and prevent further damage.
