Diseases





Rupture of the rotator cuff tendons is a common condition in adults, especially after the age of 40. It causes pain, limited shoulder movement and therefore significantly affects daily activities.
There are several treatments available, depending on the extent and severity of the rupture.

Shoulder osteoarthritis is a condition that can significantly impact patient’s daily routine, as it is accompanied by pain and limited movement of the shoulder joint.
The final and effective treatment of osteoarthritis, which allows the patient to return to a normal life, is total shoulder arthroplasty and replacement of the affected joint surfaces, with special implants.
