What is Arthroscopy?
Minimally invasive surgical technique using an arthroscope, a thin, tube-like instrument with a camera and light, to examine and repair tendons, ligaments, cartilage defects, menisci, prevent dislocations, and remove foreign bodies and calcifications.
Reviews
Most shoulder problems occur when soft tissue deteriorates. Shoulder problems vary widely and can include dislocation, separation, rotator cuff disease, rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, fractures, and arthritis.
The symptoms of shoulder problems will depend on the specific type of problem you have. Your doctor may recommend treatment depending on the type of problem you have.
See a specialist promptly; don’t wait for the problem to worsen.
Knee injuries are common and can involve various structures like ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones.
Common injuries include sprains and tears of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL), as well as the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL).
Cartilage injuries, such as meniscus tears, are also frequent, particularly in sports. Fractures, dislocations, and patellar issues can also occur.
These injuries are common and vary greatly in mechanism, severity, and treatment.
The extremities, spine, and pelvis may be affected.
We offer comprehensive and specialized management, utilizing cutting-edge technology, diagnosis, conservative treatment, surgery, or rehabilitation, with the goal of returning to the patient’s full level of activity.

What is Traumatology?
Traumatology is the branch of medicine that is dedicated to studying injuries to the locomotor system. It is a surgical medical specialty: the doctors who practice it are traumatologists or orthopedic surgeons.
When should I see a Traumatologist?
It is important that you know that in the event of a major trauma, an accident or if a more serious injury is suspected, you should immediately go to the Traumatologist, to rule out or diagnose other injuries.
