How does it work?
Shoulder Surgery in Tunisia
Shoulder surgery is a specialty within orthopedic surgery, a medical discipline that treats diseases and trauma of the musculoskeletal system (joints and parts of the human body that allow movement). For years, shoulder surgery has become increasingly important, as the shoulder is a joint very often solicited during a lifetime. Here’s everything you need to know about shoulder surgery in Tunisia, its indications and its aftermath.
What is Shoulder Surgery in Tunisia?
This procedure is indicated for patients suffering from pain or shoulder problems. These complications most often appear following an accident, or as a consequence of shoulder osteoarthritis (wear and tear of the joint). This operation also treats sports injuries, which are traumas most often diagnosed in high-level athletes (where a clavicle fracture, shoulder dislocation, etc. can be diagnosed). Today, most shoulder surgeries are performed arthroscopically: a mini-camera is placed inside the shoulder, and the images are transmitted live to a screen and viewed by the surgeon in real time. This method allows the surgeon to operate with more precision, and also allows to obtain satisfactory results. In Tunisia, you will be taken care of by different specialists for your operation; the medical team is composed of an orthopedic surgeon, an anesthesiologist and a team of highly qualified nurses.

Shoulder Surgery in Tunisia: What to know before you start
This operation is an effective solution if previous medical treatment has not produced the expected effects. A shoulder problem can cause chronic pain, discomfort during movement, and various other daily problems. Thanks to arthroscopy, scars will be smaller than with a conventional operation, and recovery times are also shorter. Depending on your situation, it is possible to consider surgery for both shoulders in Tunisia. For any request for a medical stay, you will need to prepare a complete medical file. This file must include: a complete assessment of your health, an X-ray of your shoulder and a history of your previous operations. You can contact us for detailed information on the preparation of your file.
Do you need a specialist's opinion?
How does shoulder surgery in Tunisia proceed?
Shoulder arthroscopy is performed under general anesthesia. The incisions made in the shoulder will allow the surgeon to insert the camera and surgical instruments. The resulting scars are very discreet. The duration of the operation and the surgical procedures performed will depend on the patient’s pathology: calcification, rotator cuff tear, clavicle problem… Once the operation is finished, the incisions are sutured with absorbable thread, and a dressing is applied. Generally, one night’s hospitalization is sufficient for this type of intervention, but this duration may be longer depending on the extent of the intervention.

Post-operative care for shoulder surgery in Tunisia
After the operation, you may experience some pain in your shoulder. Analgesics will be prescribed, and the pain will subside in the days following the operation. Dressings should be changed every two days by a nurse, for three weeks. In order for you to use your arm more easily after shoulder surgery, it is necessary to follow physiotherapy sessions in a specialized center. You can choose to have your shoulder rehabilitation in Tunisia or at home. The resumption of sports will only be possible after a few weeks, and you will also need the favorable opinion of the surgeon.
