HCB ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY UNIT

HCB ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY UNIT

The HCB Arthroscopic Surgery Unit is aimed at solving diseases and injuries of the shoulder, knee and hip by incorporating new minimally invasive techniques, such as Arthroscopic Surgery, which allows a less aggressive and more decisive treatment.

One of the priorities is to approach each patient individually in order to offer them personalized treatment; In addition, the entire process of diagnosis, treatment, intervention and rehabilitation is offered in the same Hospital, so that the doctor can personally supervise the entire process, speeding up and facilitating recovery.

The unit also applies the latest techniques in arthroscopic surgery of the knee and hip with a very important evolution that allows treating pathologies that until now had not been able to be treated.

The UCAH has also incorporated new biological surgery techniques (platelet-enriched plasma, stem cells…) that improve the approach to the different pathologies and injuries of the shoulder, knee and hip.

  • Less postoperative pain
  • More anatomical and precise repairs
  • Faster recovery
  • Less possibility of infections
  • Fewer postoperative complications

HCB Arthroscopic shoulder treatments

Arthroscopic surgery is a technique that allows a less aggressive and more decisive treatment of the different pathologies and injuries of the shoulder:

  • Subacromial compression syndrome (impingement)
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Recurrent dislocations and instabilities, labral injuries
  • SLAP injuries and pathology of the tendon of the biceps
  • Acromioclavicular arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism
  • Frozen shoulder and shoulder stiffness
  • Calcific tendinitis
  • Acute fractures and sequelae of fractures, prosthetic and reconstructive surgery of the shoulder.

 

HCB Arthroscopic Hip treatments

The development of arthroscopic hip surgery allows specialists to perform different treatments in a minimally invasive way, reducing the inconveniences of traditional open surgery.

  • Femoroplasties.
  • Acetabuloplasties.
  • Labral repairs
  • Chondral injury treatments

Although there are still no conclusive studies, due to the short implementation time of the technique, most surgeons who perform the technique believe that it can help prevent or delay hip osteoarthritis which, when it is advanced, requires the implantation of a full prosthesis.

 

HCB Arthroscopic Knee treatments

The development of arthroscopic surgery also allows specialists to perform different treatments in a minimally invasive way on the knee.

  • Sports injuries
  • Meniscal sutures
  • ACL plasties
  • Treatment of cartilage injuries 
  • Treatment of degenerative knee due to meniscal or cartilage injuries
