Shoulder Traumatology Specialties at TMEH - Clínica Teknon

Welcome to the Shoulder Traumatology section at TMEH, the office of renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Aleix Vidal at Clínica Teknon. Our team, comprised of specialists in various areas of traumatology, precisely and expertly addresses a broad range of shoulder injuries and conditions.

Shoulder Anatomy and Types of Injuries:

The shoulder joint, a complex structure formed by the humerus, scapula, and clavicle, is divided into two crucial joint spaces: the subacromial space and the glenohumeral joint. Here, the tendons of the rotator cuff, consisting of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, play a fundamental role.

Key Shoulder Conditions:

  1. Tendinitis and Tendon Rupture:
    • Our specialists address rotator cuff injuries caused by trauma or wear. We provide personalized treatments for effective recovery.
  2. Subacromial Impingement:
    • Thicker acromion causing symptoms like nocturnal pain is treated with conservative approaches and, in advanced cases, arthroscopic surgery to eliminate the thickening.
  3. Shoulder Dislocation:
    • From incomplete dislocations to complete displacements, our team offers conservative treatments and, if necessary, arthroscopic surgery with satisfactory results.
  4. Thrower's Shoulder:
    • In sports like handball and tennis, we address injuries to the upper ligaments and rotator cuff. We offer conservative treatments and arthroscopic surgery for optimal recovery.
  5. Clavicle Dislocation:
    • We treat clavicle ligament injuries with advanced methods, including arthroscopic surgery for aesthetic results and a more comfortable recovery.
  6. Calcific Tendonitis:
    • In cases of rotator cuff calcification, our specialists provide conservative treatments and, if necessary, arthroscopic surgery to eliminate the calcification and facilitate rehabilitation.
