At the Gastaldi Orquin Institute of Traumatology, our Shoulder Unit applies the most advanced techniques in medicine and orthopedic surgery. We specialize in minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as shoulder arthroscopy, as well as more complex and advanced techniques to treat injuries and correct severe pathologies.
Shoulder arthroscopy is essential for treating common injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, calcific tendinitis, and other conditions that can significantly limit mobility and cause pain. This approach allows for the precise repair of affected tissues, minimizing damage to healthy structures and promoting a faster and less painful recovery.
Our team is committed to providing personalized solutions, using cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal results and restore functionality to our patients.
Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that wears away the cartilage of the joint, causing pain, stiffness, and limited movement. It is common in older adults or individuals with a history of shoulder injuries.
Treatments:
- Guided ECO infiltrations (to reduce pain and inflammation).
- Regenerative medicine (stimulates the repair of damaged tissue).
- Surgery: Shoulder replacement (joint replacement in advanced cases).
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Tendinopathies and tears cause pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting the arm. They are common due to overuse, aging, or trauma.
Treatments:
- Guided ECO infiltrations (to relieve pain and inflammation).
- Regenerative medicine (promotes tendon repair).
- Surgery: Arthroscopy (repairs rotator cuff tears).
Shoulder instability occurs when the joint repeatedly dislocates (comes out of place), causing pain, weakness, and a feeling of instability. It is common in athletes or after trauma.
A shoulder dislocation is an injury that occurs when the head of the arm bone (humerus) comes out of the shoulder socket (glenoid). The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body.
Treatments:
- Surgery: Arthroscopy (stabilizes the joint and repairs damaged tissues).
Acromioclavicular dislocation is an injury where the ligaments connecting the clavicle to the acromion (part of the scapula) are torn, causing pain, swelling, and visible deformity in the shoulder area. It is common in falls or direct trauma.
Treatments:
- Guided ECO infiltrations (to reduce pain and inflammation).
- Regenerative medicine (promotes tissue repair).
- Surgery: Arthroscopy (reconstructs damaged ligaments in severe cases).
