El hombro adolorido

El Hombro Adolorido Junio, 2012 El comercio Ecuador Escribe el Dr. Alejandro Badia Un agudo y persistente dolor en el hombro puede afectar tanto a jóvenes como a mayores; sin embargo, las causas pueden ser muy variadas y requerir de un proceso de diagnóstico meticuloso para comprender el problema fundamental que conduzca a la solución. Jóvenes y activos pacientes, en nuestras prácticas, entienden que el dolor de hombro proviene del abuso de actividad. Este podría ser el motivo, pero es importante comprender su origen. Rutinas actuales de ejercicio usualmente enfatizan en fortalecer los músculos deltoides, pero el músculo rotatorio es igualmente ignorado. Esto conlleva al síndrome de inestabilidad que puede causar dolor y, por aún, una deficiencia mecánica de la articulación del hombro. Si el dolor es un problema crónico, sin historia de algún evento traumático, el paciente usualmente responderá a terapia de fortalecimiento. Dicha terapia requerirá gran diligencia de parte del paciente y del terapeuta. Medidas para tratar lesiones Una lesión aguda como una caída o un impacto sobre un brazo levantado puede llevar de uno de los tendones que podría requerir tratamiento. En caso de una lesión aguda ocurrida en un jugador profesional, se encuentran medidas como Resonancia Magnética, que frecuentemente indican la severidad de la lesión. La lesión tiende a ser difícil de tratar y se necesita una combinación de control antiinflamatorios, inyecciones de cortisona y terapias de reparación; si no tiene buena recuperación, una cirugía podría ser una solución. Los Rayos-X son útiles solo si se trata de una lesión crónica o de una fractura. Las inyecciones de cortisona ayudan en los casos de inflamación crónica. La Resonancia Magnética con frecuencia indica la severidad de la lesión del tejido blando y puede identificar una combinación de antiinflamatorios, inyecciones de cortisona y terapias de reparación; si no tiene buena recuperación, una cirugía podría ser una solución. En esta línea de medicina actual, podemos resolver muchas de estas lesiones con procedimientos de artroscopia articular. Este procedimiento permite visualizar la articulación por medio de una incisión de un centímetro. Los tejidos inflamados son reparados por procedimientos precisos que permiten la recuperación rápida del problema en el codo y la muñeca. En estos casos, la recuperación es rápida y el dolor es eliminado. Pacientes mayores con frecuencia atribuyen su dolor de hombro a “los años”. La artritis es la artrosis que conlleva una articulación desgastada. La artrosis es causada por inestabilidad de la misma articulación, lo que significa que la articulación está inestable y se desplaza. Esta condicion, la osteoartritis se ve mas comunmente en la rodilla, cadera, aun en la base del pulgar, pero es muy poco frecuente encontrarla en el hombro. La causa mas comun de dolor de hombro en personas mayores se conoce como el Sindrome de Impingement La bursitis es con frecuencia un elemento de este sindrome, bur­sitis, termino tan frecuentement usado, es mucho mas preciso describiendo este problema que el termino “artritis”. Con la edad, el flujo sanguineo hacia el musculo rotatorio disminuye y pequefios microdesgarres en el tendon conducen a la tendo­nitis o bursitis, la cual es una desgarradura aun mayor. EL SINDROME DE INPINGEMENT Esta condicion puede responder a un tratamiento conservador de inyecciones de cortisona para dismi­nuir la bursitis, o terapia para fortalecer el musculo rotatorio intacto. Un desgarre completo en el musculo rotatorio implica que el tendon desgarrado se ha separado del hueso, en este caso al paciente le seria fisicamente imposible levantar el brazo o experimentanria un dolor severo cuando lo intente. El Sindrome de Inpingement se caracteriza por sentir dolor cuando el brazo se eleva, dolor que se empeora en la noche, e inhabilita recostarse sobre el hombro afectado. Una vez que el dolor se vuelve cronico y que no reponde a terapia o a otros tratamientos conserva­dores, la cirugia es lo indicado. Algunos desgarres mas pequefios pueden ser reparados por medio de artroscopia, pero desgarres mayores usualmente se reparan por medio de una tradicional incision. La mayor parte de las intervenciones requieren un mes de inmovilizacion con un cabestrillo y varios meses de terapia post operatoria dirigida por el cirujano. EL ESPECIALISTA IDONEO El hombro es una articulacion demandante y re­quiere de paciencia tanto de parte del afectado como del cirujano a cargo. La recuperacion comunmente no es rapida, pero adherirse diligentemente al proto­colo de terapia, en la mayoria de los casos, conducen a la obtencion de buenos resultados y a un hombro funcional con minimo o ningun dolor. La clave para tratar un hombro adolorido es bus­car el especialista idoneo y someterse a un examen fisico de la parte afectada ordenado por el cirujano. La terapia con frecuencia juega un rol primordial en la recuperacion de esta articulacion en particular. Las tecnicas astroscopicas permiten una recupera­cion mas rapida y con minimo dolor si lo indicado es una cirugia Inauguración Hand to Shoulder Center El Dr. Alejandro Badia, cirujano de mano y extremidad superior inauguró su quinta clínica, el Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, en Doral, Florida. Las instalaciones cuentan con tecnologías de última generación localizadas en la planta baja de un nuevo edificio de oficinas médicas. Su proximidad a tres importantes aeropuertos y al centro de Doral, además de su cercanía al aeropuerto de Miami y hoteles de la localidad, facilitan la estadía y atención a pacientes extranjeros.

My rehabilitation is going well and I expect to be back on the squash court ready to play in the World Masters next July. One thing I have to mention is the excellent after care I have received from Dr. Badia. Since I do not live in the US I email him with any queries or concerns that I have and he always emails me back on the same day. Quite remarkable knowing how busy he is!” – Karen Meakins.

Meakins is also the number 2 female player in the Caribbean and 11 (eleven) time Barbados National Champion.   “It is extremely satisfactory when a professional athlete come to see me. It is imperative for them to be appropriately treated, to heal and go back to their intense routine. It is my challenge and my passion to succeed, says Dr. Badia.” Badia has a long history of treating high level tennis and golf competitors, NFL and NBA athletes. Dr. Badia has just been nominated one of the top 45 great hand and upper extremity surgeons to know by Becker’s Orthopedic & Spine Review.

Patient testimonials: Shoulder Labrum Tears

Patient Testimonials: Shoulder Labral Tear What does a labral repair look like? The shoulder labrum is a vital structure within your shoulder joint, playing a crucial role in its stability and mobility. It takes the form of cartilage that creates a ring-shaped framework encircling the shallow socket of the shoulder joint, referred to as the glenoid. This cartilaginous ring serves to deepen the socket and provide added support for the ball of the upper arm bone, known as the humerus, which fits snugly within. Visualize the shoulder labrum as a rim encircling the glenoid, much like the cuff along the edge of a sleeve. This anatomical arrangement greatly bolsters the shoulder joint’s stability, allowing for a diverse range of motions while ensuring a secure attachment of the humerus to the glenoid. Due to its location and role, the shoulder labrum is susceptible to various forms of injury, including tears. These tears may result from traumatic incidents, such as falls or direct impacts to the shoulder. Additionally, repetitive actions that strain the joint over time, such as overhead movements like throwing or lifting, can also lead to these tears.   Shoulder Testimonials

Shoulder Pain

Deep persistent pain in the shoulder can affect young and old alike The causes, however, can be very different and require a thorough diagnostic process to understand the underlying problem and lead to a solution. Young active patients often feel that shoulder pain stems from overuse. This may be the case, but it is important to understand why. Current exercise regiments usually emphasize strengthening the deltoid muscles, but the rotator cuff is largely ignored. This leads to an instability syndrome that can cause pain and even worse, a mechanical deficiency of the shoulder joint. If the pain is a chronic problem, with no history of a single traumatic event, the patient will usually respond to strengthening therapy. This therapy will require diligence from the patient and the therapist. When an acute injury leads to persistent pain An acute injury, such as a fall or an impact on a raised arm, may lead to a discrete injury that could require repair. When an acute injury leads to persistent pain, we often order an MRI, which is a diagnostic tool that examines the soft tissue deep in the shoulder. An ordinary x-ray examines bony structures, and often displays as normal in people with painful shoulder symptoms. The MRI can often indicate the severity of the soft tissue injury and can dictate whether continued conservative treatment (anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid injections, and therapy) is required, or if surgical intervention is warranted. A torn cartilage rim or tendon rupture will usually not get better on its own; hence a mechanical solution may be necessary. In today’s modern age of medicine, we can solve many of these problems through arthroscopic surgery. This procedure allows the joint to be visualized with a small camera inserted through tiny holes in the skin outside the joint. This procedure minimizes scarring, improves the surgeon’s visualization of the problem, and speeds the recovery. In certain cases, an open incision may be required depending on the severity and location of the problem. Older patients often attribute their shoulder pain to “arthritis”. In fact, arthritis in the shoulder joint (particularly the ball and cup joint) is rather rare. Arthritis is the loss of cartilage in a joint that leads to bone grinding against bone. This osteoarthritis condition is more commonly seen in the knee, hip, or even the base of the thumb, but is much less common in the shoulder. Related
