Modern shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, performed rapidly and yielding immediate and highly impressive results. This specific method is completely bloodless and painless, and constitutes the strong point—the forte—of Orthopedic Surgeon Mr. Polyzois, who has successfully completed over 7,500 arthroscopic surgeries in the shoulder region.
The technique of shoulder arthroscopy in the hands of Mr. Polyzois is fully individualized and tailored to the needs of each patient. This technique addresses the majority of traumatic and degenerative conditions of the shoulder region, such as ligamentous injuries, tendon and ligament tears, impingement and frozen shoulder syndromes, arthritis, bone defects, fractures, and musculoskeletal tumors.
The team’s anesthesiologist administers specialized regional anesthesia of the shoulder with or without general anesthesia, depending on the case and the patient’s preference. Patients are mobilized immediately with the physical therapist and are discharged from the hospital a few hours after the surgery. Rehabilitation is rapid, and within a few hours, the patient can manage their basic self-care needs and can drive within a few days.
Sutures, where they are not absorbable, are removed within the first ten days, and a specific program for range of motion and strengthening of the joint begins with a specialized physical therapist, in accordance with the latest international protocols in Europe, the United Kingdom, and America. It is indeed impressive that within a few days there is a full return to office work, while patients who engage in simple or heavy manual labor undergo a modern rehabilitation program tailored to each individual’s needs; within a few weeks, we observe spectacular results with the recovery of full muscle power and a return to normalcy.
Amateur as well as professional athletes also enter specialized, individualized programs where they regain full motion, flexibility, and strength, returning to their performance levels prior to the injury. In every case, it is worth noting that in combination with the surgical outcome, rehabilitation plays an exceptionally crucial role in achieving an excellent result; it requires absolute dedication and discipline from each patient regarding the exercises, the program, and their physical therapist to achieve the best possible outcome for their shoulder.
Mr. Polyzois utilizes the best tools and materials worldwide from pioneering companies, identical to those used in the top centers of Europe and America. In this manner, and in combination with surgical excellence, the maximum optimal result for the patient is achieved.
Mr. Polyzois and his team offer an individualized and definitive solution to the pain and problem of each patient, no matter how simple or complex it may be. The success rates for the patient are remarkably high, delivered within a professional yet friendly environment at a very affordable cost.
