Shoulder surgery at the airport

When Is Shoulder Surgery in Munich Necessary?
Our shoulder specialists in Munich offer the full spectrum of modern shoulder surgery, from minimally invasive procedures to complex reconstructions. Shoulder surgery is often considered the last resort when conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, injections, or pain management do not provide the desired relief. At Munich Airport Clinic, we focus on advanced, minimally invasive techniques to minimize patient discomfort and promote fast recovery. Our surgical expertise includes:
Shoulder Arthritis & Shoulder Prosthesis
In advanced shoulder arthritis, the joint cartilage wears down, leading to severe pain and restricted mobility. When conservative treatments are no longer effective, a shoulder prosthesis can significantly improve function and quality of life. Our specialists use modern partial or total prostheses, individually tailored to your anatomy for optimal results.
Rotator Cuff Tear & Tendon Reconstruction
The rotator cuff consists of multiple muscles and tendons that stabilize and move the shoulder. A tear in this area can result from sudden injuries or age-related degeneration and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent mobility restrictions. Using state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques, we repair rotator cuff tears by either reconstructing the tendon tissue or, if necessary, replacing it with a tendon transplant.
Shoulder Arthroscopy (Joint Endoscopy)
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to precisely diagnose and treat shoulder conditions and injuries. It is commonly performed for impingement syndrome, calcific tendonitis, labral tears, or small rotator cuff tears. Through tiny skin incisions, a camera and fine surgical instruments are inserted to target and treat damaged structures. This technique reduces the risk of complications and allows for faster recovery with significantly less pain compared to open surgery.
