The next “Penzberg consultation hour” is coming up.
This time the information event will provide information about the topic of shoulders.
Penzberg - The next “Penzberg consultation” on February 21st at the local clinic is this time dedicated to a surgical topic: shoulder surgery.
It is a “topic close to the heart” of Dr.
med.
Joachim Scharff, as medical director Dr.
Susanne Rogers emphasizes.
Scharff, a specialist in surgery, orthopedics and trauma surgery, has been a senior physician at the Surgical Clinic for 14 years.
Shoulder injuries occur often, says the senior physician at the Penzberg Clinic
When it comes to his shoulder, he is dealing with a “quite common condition”.
No wonder, as this area of the body is “exposed,” as experts say.
In contrast to other joints, the shoulder is guided by tendons, which guarantees a lot of freedom of movement - although muscles and tendons deteriorate with age.
meeting
The “consultation hour” for shoulder surgery will take place on
Wednesday, February 21st
, at the Penzberg Clinic.
It starts at 7 p.m. in the event room.
The event is free.
The doctor knows that 50 to 60 year olds are most affected by shoulder problems.
Young people could also have problems with their shoulder, usually due to sports.
And of those over 70, at least 30 percent would have a shoulder defect, but 75 percent of those affected would not feel anything.
The Penzberg Clinic provides advice on shoulder injuries
Doctor Scharff generally advises: Anyone who has shoulder pain for more than three weeks should see a doctor.
At the Penzberg Clinic they cover a “broad spectrum,” as medical director Rogers says.
This ranges from shoulder operations in the event of accidents to soft tissue procedures in the event of chronic pain.
Before an operation, however, Scharff emphasizes that it is always checked whether the patient can be treated conservatively - for example with injections or arthroscopy.
And “immensely important” is physiotherapy afterwards, says the surgeon.
But that requires patience.
