FIRST OF ALL...
WHEN SHOULD I SEE THE TRAUMATOLOGIST?
The traumatologist deals with osteomuscular pathologies : bone, muscle, joints, as well as tendon and ligamentous pathologies. Much of our work focuses on bone fractures. Muscular and ligamentous injuries, fibrillar ruptures and tendinitis due to overload in sports practice or work activity and joint degeneration due to age are also common.
If you have suffered some type of direct trauma with intense pain that does not subside with rest or you have a serious ailment that is (or is not) associated with a specific activity or training overload and limits the functionality of your body, you are in the right place. .
Main symptoms:
- Knee pain.
- Hip pain.
- Leg pain or numbness (sciatica).
- elbow pain
- Foot pain.
- Lower back pain (Lumbago).
- Upper back pain.
- Hand pain.
- Neck pain (cervicalgia).
- Shoulder pain.
- dropped shoulder
- Numbness of legs and arms.
FEELING PAIN IS NO LONGER AN OPTION,

Injuries that most often occur during sports or exercise, such as sprains, strains, and stress fractures. This health topic focuses on the types of sports injuries that affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Joint replacement is recommended to eliminate pain and disability caused by extensive joint destruction . This may be because the joint surfaces may be damaged by osteoarthritis, a process that causes the joint cartilage to wear away.
The joint prostheses that are placed most frequently are:
-Hip
-Knee
-Shoulder
Therefore we cannot treat an injury in the same way in adults and children or adolescents. For this reason, trauma injuries or orthopedic defects should be managed by specialists.
Arthroscopy is a procedure to diagnose and treat joint problems. A thin tube connected to a fiber optic video camera is inserted through a small buttonhole-sized incision. The image inside the joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor.
Arthroscopy allows us to see inside the joint without making a large incision.
Arthroscopy is used primarily to diagnose and treat a variety of joint conditions, most often those that affect the following:
- Knee
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Ankle
- Hip
- Wrist
CONDITIONS
The shoulder is the joint with the greatest range of movement in the entire body, this gives it a significant propensity to injuries due to instability and overuse. Currently, most shoulder injuries can be treated nonoperatively or with minimally invasive techniques.
Some common shoulder conditions include:
-Anterior, posterior or multidirectional instability.
-Anterior, posterior or multidirectional dislocation.
-Rotator cuff injury.
-Biceps tendinitis.
-Labral
tears -Bursitis
-Osteoarthritis
-Fractured clavicle.
-Acromioclavicular dislocation.
-Frozen shoulder.
-Fractures of the proximal humerus.
Causes of hand or wrist pain can include ligament, tendon, nerve, or bone problems.
Some hand conditions that can be treated minimally invasively include:
-Arthritis.
-Carpal tunnel syndrome.
-De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
-Dupuytren’s disease -Synovial cyst
-Trigger finger
Knee pain can affect people of any age and can be caused by a wide range of causes such as congenital problems, sports injuries or cartilage wear.
Some common knee injuries and/or causes of pain:
-Osteoarthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis)
-Knee joint replacement with prosthesis
-cartilage lesions
-Anterior cruciate ligament injury
-Posterior cruciate ligament injury
-Collateral ligament injury
-Meniscal injury Patellofemoral instability
Hip pain can interrupt your work and activities and cause great discomfort. Timely treatment can eliminate symptoms and restore quality of life.
Some common hip injuries and/or causes of pain:
-Hip pain
-Femoroacetabular impingement
-Coxarthrosis (degeneration of the hip joint)
-Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
-Replacement of the hip joint with a total prosthesis
-Sports injuries, gluteal and adductor muscle tears
The spine makes up most of the axial skeleton. It is made up of vertebrae which are joined together through intervertebral joints that provide a flexible but strong support to the chest and limbs, as well as offering protection to the spinal cord.
Like other joints and bones in the body, over time the spine tends to present different degenerative injuries, which vary according to sex, age, professional and recreational activity, patient comorbidities, etc.
Some spinal conditions and their treatments include:
- cervical disc herniation
- lumbar disc herniation
- Cervical canal stenosis
- lumbar canal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- facet syndrome
- vertebral fractures
- Low back pain (lumbar pain) of different origins
The elbow and cartilage is a complex mechanism composed of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. It is essential for almost all daily activities.
Treating injuries to this area of the body requires highly trained specialists.
Some types of elbow injuries can be:
-Tennis elbow.
Distal biceps rupture.
-Injury to the collateral ligaments of the elbow.
-Fractures and dislocations.
Having an elbow injury can prevent you from being able to use your arm for daily tasks, especially if it is a serious injury. Fortunately, there are several surgical and non-surgical treatment options available to relieve elbow pain and heal these injuries.

-Fascitis plantar
