Shoulder Injuries

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.

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.
