Reconstruction (seam) of the rotational cuff
The rupture of muscles or tendons that make up the rotational cuff of the hands can be eliminated using a minimally invasive arthroscopic operation.
Traumatologist-surgeons at Olympus Clinic perform suturing of the rotator cuff using special instruments with powerful optical visualization. Arthroscopic surgery allows you to eliminate the cause of the pathology, reduce the risk of tissue damage and speed up the patient’s rehabilitation process.
Clinical analysis of blood and urine Radiography of the shoulder joint Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Consultation with a therapist and specialized specialists, such as an orthopedic traumatologist and an anesthesiologist
At the initial consultation, the doctor conducts a clinical examination and evaluates the volume of movements. On the day of the operation, the patient is hospitalized in the morning, and laryngeal mask anesthesia is performed. A camera with instruments is inserted into the joint through micro-injections, with the help of which the condition of the internal structures of the joint is assessed. Then the tendon is refixed using special orthopedic threads. After the operation, the patient is transferred to the awakening room, where his condition is monitored by medical staff. The operation lasts an average of 2-2.5 hours.
Arthroscopes with high-quality optics Miniature surgical instruments
After the operation, the patient receives the recommendations of a rehabilitologist. Recovery to athletic loads takes 6-7 months. Immediately after surgery, the joint is fixed with a bandage, which is worn for 6 weeks. Partial hand movements can be started a little earlier, 4 weeks after surgery. Therapeutic gymnastics, physiotherapy (magnetic therapy, UVT, kinesiotaping, massage) are performed with a gradual increase in the load on the shoulder. You can return to normal life in a few weeks, but with limited motor activity with your hand.
Benefits
Prevention of degenerative changes
Reconstruction helps prevent the development of degenerative changes in the shoulder joint that may occur due to problems in the rotator cuff.
Improving the quality of life
Shoulder reconstruction can significantly improve the quality of life by freeing the patient from pain and movement restrictions.
Gradual return to physical activity
After rehabilitation, the patient can gradually return to physical activity and sports, following the doctor's recommendations.

Useful information
Olecranon fractures
Olecranon has little or no muscle or other soft tissue protection, making it vulnerable to damage from falls and impacts. The olecranon is the most prominent of the bones forming the elbow joint, specifically the ulna. It attaches to the triceps and, along with the humerus, constitutes the elbow joint, which is responsible for bending and extending the arm. Olecranon fractures vary in complexity. They can be simple, with no displacement of bone fragments, or complex, with damage to the articular surface of the ulna and displacement of fragments by triceps traction. Such fractures cause a loss of extension in the elbow joint, resulting from the disruption of the triceps' connection with the forearm.
Forearm fractures
The forearm is composed of two bones, the radius and ulna, which are connected by a firm interosseous membrane and ligaments at the elbow and wrist joints. Due to their intricate structure, defined by numerous curvatures, these bones constitute five joints. The forearm enables flexion and extension at the elbow and wrist joints, as well as the rotation of the hand (pronation and supination) through the movement of the radius around the ulna.
Rotator cuff rupture
An injury characterized by damage to the tendons that surround the shoulder joint and ensure its mobility.
Impeachment-shoulder joint syndrome
Impingement syndrome (subacromial syndrome) is a condition in which the tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder are pinched between the acromion and the head of the humerus, which causes pain and limited movement in the shoulder joint.
Expected effect
Improving shoulder functionality
Restoration of damaged tissues and stabilization of the shoulder joint.
Pain Reduction
Rotator cuff reconstruction can help reduce or eliminate pain completely.
Shoulder joint stability
After reconstruction, the stability of the shoulder joint improves.
Restoring functionality
The restoration of the shoulder joint can facilitate a return to everyday tasks without restrictions.

Slipped, fell, woke up — plaster cast: about fracture treatment
A bone fracture is a common injury that almost everyone has been through. Although human bones are very strong, if the external force is too great, they can break like a plastic ruler when it is bent too much. In the article we will tell you how to act in case of a fracture.
Summer injuries: first aid for bruises, dislocations and sprains
Summer is a time for walking, outdoor activities and sports. The sun and warm weather encourage us to spend more time outside and enjoy nature. But the more we move, the higher the risk of injury becomes. It is not surprising that bruises and dislocations become frequent companions of summer leisure. Of course, in case of serious injuries such as fractures, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately. But what to do with less significant injuries — minor bruises, sprains with slight swelling and pain? In such cases, you can help yourself and others on your own, knowing the basics of first aid. In this article, we will tell you how to cope with injuries sustained during summer activities and quickly return to your usual lifestyle.
What is the danger of flat feet and how to treat it?
Flat feet are an orthopedic problem in which the shape of the foot changes, its longitudinal and/or transverse arch decreases. Normally, the arches of the foot are responsible for cushioning and even distribution of the load when walking and running. But with flat feet, the foot cannot spring properly, which increases the load on the bones, joints and muscles of the legs.
What should I do if my ligaments are damaged?
Ligament damage is an injury in which there is a violation of the integrity of the fibers that make up the ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to each other, stabilizing joints and preventing their excessive movement. They are made up of collagen fibers, which give them strength and elasticity. But under the external influence of the ligament, the length of the ligaments almost does not change, so the fibers can rupture. Ligaments are damaged due to excessive stretching or sudden movement exceeding their normal amplitude. This can happen if you land incorrectly after a jump, fall, abruptly change the direction of movement or a direct blow to the joint.
