Traumatología codo

The upper limbs are prone to various injuries and conditions that can affect the functionality and quality of life of patients. At the Traumatology Service of Hospital Ruber Internacional, we specialize in the comprehensive treatment of these pathologies, using modern and advanced techniques to ensure satisfactory recovery.

• Hand and Wrist

For the hand and wrist, we treat both bone and soft tissue pathologies, such as fractures, ligament and nerve injuries. We use cutting-edge techniques, including arthroscopy and microsurgery, which allow for precise and minimally invasive interventions. Some of the most common conditions in this area include:

• Rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, and osteoarthritis of the fingers and wrist.
• Thumb osteoarthritis (rhizarthrosis).
• Hand and wrist fractures.
• Tumors, cysts, and ganglions.
• Rupture of flexor and extensor tendons, and ligament injuries (e.g., skier's thumb).
• Ulnar nerve syndrome at Guyon's canal.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Congenital malformations.
• Scarring deformities and burn sequelae.
• Tendon problems of traumatic or inflammatory origin, such as trigger fingers.

• Shoulder and Elbow

For the shoulder and elbow, when surgical intervention is required, we prioritize minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, which allows for precise procedures with less damage to surrounding tissues. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

• Rotator cuff pathology.
• Labrum injuries after dislocations.
• Capsulitis.
• Acromioclavicular injuries.

In more complex situations, such as fractures or the placement of shoulder or elbow prostheses, we may resort to open surgery to achieve optimal results.

Traumatología tobillo

Our team of specialists is highly qualified in percutaneous, arthroscopic, and open surgical techniques to effectively address foot and ankle conditions. We focus on providing personalized treatments tailored to the needs of each patient, always aiming to improve mobility and quality of life.

Among the main conditions we treat are:

• Foot Deformities

We treat various deformities such as equinocavovarus foot, flatfoot, and cavus foot. The most suitable treatment, which may include the use of orthopedic insoles, physiotherapy, or corrective surgery, depends on the severity of the deformity.

• Metatarsalgia

We treat this condition, which causes pain and inflammation in the front part of the foot, with conservative therapies such as rest, physiotherapy, pain medications, and the use of appropriate footwear.

• Osteochondral Injuries

We use advanced techniques such as arthroscopy to identify and treat injuries in the cartilage and bones of the ankle. Depending on the extent and location of the injury, we may opt for conservative treatments or surgery to stimulate tissue regeneration.

• Ligament and Tendon Injuries

We treat the ligaments and tendons of the foot and ankle using conservative therapies such as immobilization, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. In more severe cases, repair or reconstruction surgery may be necessary to restore the stability and function of the foot and ankle.

• Fractures and Dislocations

Fractures and dislocations of the foot and ankle are treated with precision by our specialists. Depending on the severity and location of the injury, we may use conservative methods or surgical interventions to achieve proper alignment and bone healing.

We have cutting-edge technology and a team of medical specialists skilled in the management of foot and ankle pathologies and injuries.
