arthroscopy



Becky underwent arthtroscopy of her left shoulder successfully. She entered Inova Mt Vernon Hospital on Thursday and had a 2hrs operation to repair her right shoulder rotating cuff. The operation was cutting edge (no pun intended). Three small entry points, video, scalpel and instruments, were all the surgeon had to do to fix a 3 inch tear in her tendon and scrape a bone spur. the healing will take a lot less time. Now, hooked up to a cooling system, she is recovering rapidly and already feels no more tension in her neck.
