Reconstruction (seam) of the rotational cuff

During the initial consultation, an orthopedic traumatologist conducts a clinical examination of the patient and special tests, evaluates the volume of movements. Complex examinations are prescribed, which include instrumental diagnostics (radiography, MRI). Depending on the severity of the gap, adequate treatment tactics are selected. If necessary, the operation begins preparation for planned arthroscopy. The patient is directed to a comprehensive preoperative examination, laboratory diagnostics. A few days before the planned date of the operation based on the results of the examination, the patient meets an anesthesiologist for the individual selection of anesthesia.

Hospitalization takes place in the morning on the day of the operation. The last intake of water, solid food should be at least 6 hours before planned surgery. As a rule, laryrgeal mask anesthesia is used to perform the operation on the meniscus. The reconstruction of the rotational cuff in Olympus clinics is carried out in a modern operating room, which is equipped according to world standards with laminar air flow. The work uses high -tech equipment, which allows you to carry out minimally invasive interventions on various joints without using large incisions of soft tissues. High -quality optics gives a clear enlarged picture of the operation site to ensure maximum accuracy of work. The operation lasts an average of 2 to 2.5 hours. A camera with instruments is introduced through the micro -ropens in the joint, with the help of which the condition of the internal structures of the joint is evaluated. Then the tendon is refixed using special orthopedic latches and threads. After surgery, the patient is transferred to the wake -up ward, where medical personnel are watching his condition. Arthroscopic techniques significantly reduce the time of inpatient stay. The patient is discharged on the second day after the operation.

After the operation, the patient receives his appointments and recommendations of the attending physician, a rehabilitologist. Recovery after planned arthroscopy to sports loads is 6-7 months. Immediately after the operation, the upper limb is fixed using a special bandage, which. It is necessary to wear from 4 to 6 weeks. Partially, hand movements can be started a little earlier, 4 weeks after surgery. Medial gymnastics, physiotherapeutic procedures (magnetotherapy, UVT, kinesiotheraping, massage) with a gradual increase in the load on the shoulder are mandatory. You can return to normal life in a few weeks, but with a limitation of motor activity with your hand.
