Shoulder and elbow
At the Centre Orthopédique d'Ouchy, we manage shoulder pathologies with specialized expertise and a personalized approach.
We treat in particular:
- Shoulder instability, responsible for recurrent dislocations and apprehension.
- Rotator cuff tears, whether traumatic or degenerative.
- Shoulder osteoarthritis, causing pain and progressive limitation of movement.
For these conditions, we offer a wide range of treatments, ranging from:
- conservative solutions (specialized rehabilitation, muscle strengthening),
- targeted injections (corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, PRP),
- to arthroscopic surgery or shoulder replacement when necessary.
Our goal is to relieve pain, restore mobility and improve our patients' quality of life.
The shoulders are used in many everyday movements, and various pathologies can impair their mobility or cause persistent pain.
Among the most frequent reasons for consultation:
- L'shoulder instability, which can lead to episodes of dislocation or a feeling of insecurity during movement.
- The rotator cuff injuries, whether they are of traumatic origin or related to the wear and tear of time.
- L'shoulder osteoarthritis, causing increasing stiffness and chronic pain.
Our team offers a range of solutions tailored to each situation:
- Non-surgical approaches to preserve function (physiotherapy, targeted muscle exercises)
- Customized injections may include corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or PRP.
- Minimally invasive surgery or the placement of prostheses, when other treatments do not provide sufficient relief
Each treatment plan is defined after a thorough assessment, with priority given to regaining autonomy and resuming activities that matter to you.
