Pain Pump Injury Facts:

For years, patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery have routinely received pain pumps to assist in their recovery.

Now a new study suggests these pumps may deliver too much medicine, destroying valuable cartilage and leading to a painful condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL).  

Pain pumps deliver controlled amounts of local anesthetics to manage pain after a surgical procedure. They have become popular because of their ability to reduce recovery time without the unpleasant side effects of many narcotic pain relievers.

However, a recent study published by The American Journal of Sports Medicine identified intra-articular pain pumps as the likely cause of Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). PAGCL occurs when the cartilage located within the shoulder joint begins to deteriorate – and has no consistently successful treatment; often resulting in permanent shoulder pain and loss of mobility.

Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL) begins to develop as early as 2 months after surgery, up until a year following the arthroscopic procedure.



Potential Effects of the Pain Pump:

  • Shoulder pain whether in motion or at rest
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Shoulder stiffness or weakness
  • Clicking, popping or grinding of the shoulder
