SPORT ACCIDENT? KNEE OR SHOULDER INJURIES?

Injuries to the knee often occur during sport, as it is subject to high stress and is also very susceptible to injury. A sudden change of direction, an unfortunate fall or an overload can lead to torn ligaments, meniscus damage or strains.

Conservative knee therapy comprises non-surgical measures for the treatment of knee problems. The aim is to relieve pain, improve mobility and maintain or restore knee function.

A tear can be caused by sudden twisting movements, sports injuries or age-related wear and tear. Typical symptoms are pain, swelling, restricted movement or "jamming" in the knee.

The kneecap (patella) is a small, flat, triangular bone on the front of the knee. It sits in the tendon of the thigh muscle and protects the knee joint. At the same time, it improves the leverage of the thigh muscle, which is important for extending the leg.

A cruciate ligament rupture is a common injury in the knee joint in which one of the two cruciate ligaments - usually the anterior one - tears partially or completely. These ligaments stabilize the knee and prevent excessive movement of the tibia in relation to the thigh.

Knee osteoarthritis, also known as gonarthrosis, is a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage in the knee joint slowly breaks down. As a result, the bones in the joint increasingly rub directly against each other, which can cause pain, stiffness and restricted movement.

If conservative treatment methods such as physiotherapy, painkillers or injections no longer provide sufficient relief, a knee prosthesis can be an effective solution for advanced knee osteoarthritis.

A Sport accident to the shoulder often occurs during contact sports or due to falls. This can lead to bruising, strains, tendon tears or even shoulder dislocation.

Conservative shoulder therapy includes non-surgical treatment methods to relieve pain and restore mobility and function of the shoulder.

An injury to these tendons - whether due to overloading, wear and tear or an accident - can lead to pain, restricted movement and loss of strength.

Instability refers to excessive mobility of the shoulder joint in which the humeral head slips partially or completely out of the glenoid socket - a process known as dislocation.

Omarthrosis is a wear and tear of the shoulder joint. The cartilage between the head of the humerus and the shoulder socket becomes increasingly worn, which can lead to pain, restricted movement and inflammation.

A shoulder prosthesis is an artificial joint replacement that is used in cases of severe damage or wear to the shoulder joint - often due to osteoarthritis, accidents or rheumatic diseases.
