Shoulder Pain Pumps May Cause Permanent Joint Damage

Wednesday, August 01, 2007

A study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine revealed that the use of intra-articular pain pump catheters after shoulder surgery appears to cause permanent cartilage damage. The condition, which is known as postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis or PAGCL is a life altering condition that is extremely painful and affects the use of the shoulder. An intra-articular pain pump catheter is a tiny, flexible plastic tube that is implanted in the shoulder joint during surgery. The pain pump stays in place for several days after surgery to deliver pain medication, usually bupivacaine with epinephrine) to the shoulder joint.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis you may have valuable legal rights.
