Treatment

Additional Surgeries Often Needed to Repair PAGCL Damage

Victims of post-arthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL), which is damage to the cartilage of the shoulder joint, often must undergo additional surgeries in an effort to repair the damage. Doctors may also try to reduce the pain with anti-inflammatory drugs, but this approach has had varying degrees of success in patients. Even subsequent surgeries may be unable to fully correct the cartilage damage caused by PAGCL.

If you have suffered PAGCL following arthroscopic shoulder surgery and the implantation of a pain pump, you may be entitled to financial compensation. PAGCL is a painful and permanent injury that may not be corrected with surgery or drug treatments. At Mark & Associates, P.C., our attorneys are experienced at handling PAGCL claims and have the expertise and knowledge to advise you of your legal rights.

Painful Surgeries May Be Only Option

In most cases, surgery is the only viable treatment for PAGCL injuries. When arthroscopic surgery followed by the implantation of a pain pump catheter has caused shoulder cartilage damage, the type of minimally-invasive surgical procedure may not be an option for subsequent surgeries, leaving only more invasive and painful open surgeries.

Doctors may be able to perform shoulder-replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, to implant an artificial joint in the damaged shoulder. Many patients, particularly young people whose joints are still growing, may have to under repeated replacement surgeries as they grow older. Arthroplasty is major surgery requiring general anesthesia and significant recovery time.

Free Initial Consultations

If you have suffered PAGCL caused by the use of pain pumps following arthroscopic shoulder surgery, you may have important legal rights. Medical researchers have identified pain pumps as a cause of PAGCL, a painful and progressive injury that can result in persistent pain, reduced range of motion, and joint stiffness and weakness. If you or a loved one has suffered from PAGCL after arthroscopic shoulder surgery, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and other damages.
