Over time, joints become stiffer and less flexible, as the fluid within them can decrease. The cartilage can begin to rub and wear down. Minerals can be deposited in and around some joints (calcification). This is common around the shoulder.

Why tendons weaken?

Age

As people age, their tendons become less flexible, making them more vulnerable to injury.

Profession

Tendonitis is more common in people whose jobs involve:

  • Repetitive movements.
  • Awkward positions.
  • Reach places above the head frequently.
  • Vibrations.
  • Great physical effort.

Sports

You're more likely to get tendonitis if you play certain sports that involve repetitive motion, especially if your technique isn't optimal. This can happen with:

  • Baseball.
  • Basketball.
  • Bowling.
  • Golf.
  • Run.
  • Swimming.
  • Tennis.

At CIFO, specialists in Traumatology and Orthopedics

We promote the use of new technologies that have revolutionized all aspects of medicine and orthopedic surgery is no stranger to it.

We are especially interested in functional recovery after surgery that allows the patient to return to their usual activities and sports as soon as possible.

For this reason, we have promoted shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique.

What does it consist of?

A small incision (cut) is made in the shoulder and a pencil-thin camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted. This allows you to take a closer look at the state of the bones.
