Postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis is a condition in which the cartilage located within the shoulder joint begins to deteriorate. This typically occurs after an individual has had surgery on the affected shoulder. The condition generally affects the glenohumeral joint, which is the joint at the end of the shoulder comprised of the socket of the shoulder blade and the ball of the arm bone. The cartilage between these two portions of the arm and shoulder is the site affected by postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis. As the cartilage begins to deteriorate due to the condition, the individual starts to experience the complications associated with the disorder.

The pain pumps of concern are made by and distributed by Stryker Co., DJO Inc., I-Flow Co. & BREG Inc.  Most common shoulder pain pump models are:

• Stryker®
• PainPump® Blockaid®
• Stryker® PainPump 1®
• Stryker® PainPump 2®
• Donjoy®
• Donjoy® Pain Control Device
• I-Flow®
• On-Q® Painbuster®
• Accufuser® Plus Pain Pump
