Specialist Consultations and Accurate Diagnoses
Specialized Shoulder Service
A specialist shoulder examination offers a targeted and qualified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies affecting this complex joint.
Through the examination, using dedicated diagnostic tools, such as MRI or ultrasound during the examination, to identify the exact cause of the pain or problem in this complex joint.
Common examples of conditions treated include tendinitis, bursitis or rotator cuff tears, fractures, and osteoarthritis.
Hyperspecialization is now essential to develop a personalized treatment plan that can range from physiotherapy to minimally invasive surgery, thus ensuring optimal recovery of functionality and pain reduction.

Advanced Surgical Techniques and Arthroscopy
These minimally invasive methods allow for interventions to be performed with millimetric precision, significantly reducing post-operative recovery times.
Using a small camera, arthroscopy allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a monitor, operating through small incisions.
Common examples include rotator cuff repair in the shoulder or joint stabilization for dislocations or instability, procedures that reduce patient discomfort and speed the return to daily activities.
Pathologies
From Rotator Cuff to Acromioclavicular Dislocations
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and allowing for a wide range of motion. This structure can be susceptible to injuries, such as tears or inflammation, which compromise shoulder function.
Acromioclavicular dislocations, on the other hand, occur when the bones that make up the joint between the clavicle and the acromion, a part of the scapula, shift. This type of injury can be caused by falls or direct blows to the shoulder, causing pain and limited movement. Both conditions require a careful and timely therapeutic approach to restore joint function and relieve pain.
Management of adhesive capsulitis and complex pathologies such as microinstability or recurrent dislocations
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as "frozen shoulder," is a condition that affects the shoulder joint capsule, leading to pain and reduced mobility. This condition can be caused by prolonged immobilization, trauma, or autoimmune diseases. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes physical therapy, specific stretching exercises, and, in the most severe cases, surgery.
Others include microinstability, which is a mild instability of the shoulder joint that can lead to pain and limited movement, and recurrent dislocations, repeated episodes of shoulder dislocation that compromise an individual's quality of life.
