PAGCL

Post Arthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL) is a devastating complication of arthroscopic shoulder surgery where the cartilage in the shoulder begins to deteriorate months after surgery, causing pain, stiffness, and sometimes the inability to use the affected shoulder.

While PAGCL is relatively uncommon, a study published on July 3, 2007 in The American Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that the use of intra-articular pain pumps with arthroscopic shoulder surgery was highly associated with PAGCL. This association was greatest when the intra-articular pain pumps were used to deliver a combination of the painkillers bupivacaine and epinephrine to the shoulder joint.
