Nowadays, the problems of the shoulder and elbow joints, which help us position our hands in space, are increasing. Increasing activity level and expectation with advancing age, increasing sports activities, excessive use in daily work or during work, and trauma can be considered among the reasons for this increase.
The main symptoms of shoulder problems are night pains that wake up from sleep, inability to lie on the shoulder, such as a shelf. Inability to reach high places with hands, increasing weakness and limitation of movement even in simple daily tasks, pain and difficulty in carrying loads.
The most common cause of shoulder pain and limitation of movement is shoulder impingement and tear in the shoulder that occurs in later periods. . Although the initial treatment approach is physical therapy and rehabilitation, as in all orthopedic problems, a significant portion of shoulder tears that cause complaints are treated arthroscopically, that is, closed, by viewing the inside of the joint with a monitor and stitching it with the help of some surgical instruments.
Closed, that is, arthroscopic. The most important feature of the treatments is that the problem area is directly reached while preserving innocent tissues, thus ensuring the highest level of post-operative patient comfort. Patient comfort means little or no pain, as well as the ability to participate in physical therapy processes, which can be extremely difficult in open surgeries. Patients can return to their previous daily activities in a much shorter time by following the doctor's recommendations.

Treatment of the shoulder joint Another important problem is arthritis in the shoulder. As with other large joints such as the hip and knee joints, shoulder arthritis manifests itself with severe pain even at rest and limitation of movement that severely reduces our daily activities. Although the cause of calcification is mostly trauma or rheumatic diseases, calcification usually develops spontaneously, that is, without any reason. The most important benefit of patients who have undergone shoulder prosthesis is the elimination of pain and recovery of shoulder movements to a reasonable extent.
