Shoulder Pain Pumps - intra-articular pain pump catheters - are temporarily implanted in the shoulder during shoulder surgery and have been linked to a serious injury know as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL).
PAGCL is the deterioration of cartilage in the shoulder following surgery.
During shoulder surgery an intra-articular pain pump catheter may be placed into the shoulder joint and remains in the joint for several days to deliver pain medication to the shoulder. PAGCL is an extremely painful and life-altering condition.
Symptoms of PAGCL may include:
- pain at the shoulder when it is in motion or at rest
- increased shoulder stiffness
- popping or grinding when the shoulder is in motion
- decrease in range of motion
- a loss of strength in the joint.
