Treatment of shoulder injuries and diseases at Swiss Medical Network

Shoulder surgery

Due to its enormous range of motion, the shoulder is a very complicated and sensitive joint. The movement of the shoulder involves the complex interaction between muscles, ligaments and tendons. However, this complexity also brings with it various types of wear and tear, and a propensity for shoulder injuries.

Shoulder surgery deals with all complaints in the shoulder area. The treatment methods include both conservative and state-of-the-art surgical measures.
