SHOULDER SURGERY
Shoulder surgery has developed into an independent specialist field in orthopedic and traumatological surgery since the late 1990s. Their development is based on three factors: Improvement of diagnostic imaging (MRI and MR arthrography), development of minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, reliability of shoulder prostheses, the effectiveness of rehabilitation protocols. The most common shoulder diseases are: lesions (damage) of the rotator cuff tendon, the actual "motor" of the shoulder, ankylosis of the shoulder (frozen shoulder), also known as capsulitis Shoulder arthrosis, centered or eccentric Lesions in athletes: dislocation (dislocation) of the shoulder, dysfunction of the shoulder joint, fracture of the collarbone, fracture of the greater tuberosity (protruding bone on the humerus).
Rotator Cuff Tear
Rotator Cuff Tear occurs when one or more muscles or tendons in the rotator cuff are either torn, worn, or impinged. The tendons gradually weaken and wear out.
Impingement
Impingement translates to ''pinching''. Tendons run between the humeral head and the acromion, which are very important for the mobility and function of the shoulder.
Long Biceps Tendinitis
Biceps Tendinitis is an inflammation or tear of the upper biceps tendon, also called the long head of the biceps tendon. It connects the biceps muscle to the bone in the shoulder socket.
Calcific Tendinopathy
In the case of the disease known as "Calcific Tendinopathy", calcium is deposited in the shoulder area causing an inflammatory reaction.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder is also known as shoulder stiffness because of the resulting 'freezing' of the shoulder joint. In other words, the shoulder joint becomes increasingly immobile and stiff.
Shoulder Instability
Shoulder Instability arises when the ligaments or the labrum around the shoulder joint are stretched, torn, or detached, allowing the shoulder head to move fully or partially out of the socket.
AC Joint Arthritis
Acromioclavicular Joint Arthritis refers to an injury to the ligamentous apparatus that can cause misalignments or dysfunctions in the joint.
