ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME

This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons and bursa (fluid sacs cushioning the shoulder) are rubbed and pinched under the acromion (the bony tip of the shoulder blade), leading to inflammation, pain, and limited motion. If not diagnosed and treated in time, the disease may progress and become more complex:

• Pain even at rest, especially at night, causing sleep disturbances
• Progressive loss of shoulder range of motion, difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
• Increased risk of rotator cuff tears, chronic inflammation, or frozen shoulder

Dr. François Duroux, Orthopedic Surgeon and Traumatologist, Hanoi French Hospital, shares: “At this stage, conservative treatment and physiotherapy are often no longer effective. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is an effective solution to release the impingement, restore function, and prevent serious complications.”

At Hanoi French Hospital, arthroscopic shoulder surgery for impingement syndrome is performed by Dr. François Duroux, who received his Doctorate in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology at the University of Toulouse (France), and has more than 20 years of experience in shoulder disorders.

The procedure strictly follows international sterile standards:

• 3–5 mm incisions, minimally invasive, reducing post-operative pain and leaving almost invisible scars after 6 months
• Continuous infusion of sterile irrigation fluid during surgery to enhance arthroscopic visualization, remove bone debris and inflamed tissue, and minimize infection risk
• Arthroscopic acromioplasty using a burr to remove sharp acromial bone causing impingement, while addressing rotator cuff tears or bursitis if present
• International-standard sterile operating room, with surgical instruments sterilized to the highest French standards, ensuring infection control before, during, and after surgery

After surgery, Dr. Duroux closely collaborates with the Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Department to develop an individualized exercise plan, helping patients relieve pain quickly, regain shoulder function early, and return to daily activities sooner.
