Explore some of the musculoskeletal injury treatments that will help you regain your mobility and quality of life.
JOINT REPLACEMENT
Also known as arthroplasty, it is a technique that replaces the injured or diseased parts of the hip, knee and shoulder joint to replace them with prostheses.
This procedure is performed, either due to illness, wear or accidents, where an artificial replacement is required so that the body continues to function correctly and mobility is recovered to live with quality.
COLUNM SURGERY
When injuries occur due to accidents, diseases or congenital malformations, you may be a candidate for Spine Surgery, which will be performed with the aim of correcting anomalies in the structure of the spine.
ARTHROSCOPY
It is a surgery that is characterized by the introduction, in two small cuts, of a camera that allows the joints to be seen and repaired.
With minimal complications compared to conventional surgeries and a faster recovery.

MINIMUM INVASION

FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS
Bone fractures, or a broken bone, occur when a force exerted against a bone is stronger than what the bone can withstand.
