Orthopaedics

The shoulder joint is considered the most complicated joint in the human body. It has the greatest range of motion and is therefore more susceptible to injury than other joints. In the complex field of shoulder and elbow surgery, our specialists perform joint replacement operations and arthroscopies.

Shoulder surgery

Do you need an artificial shoulder joint or a shoulder prosthesis replacement? Zollikerberg Hospital treats patients of all ages. Highly specialised internal specialists and attending physicians will operate on you for various shoulder and elbow joint problems. Both chronic degenerative complaints such as osteoarthritis and acute traumatic injuries following accidents are treated. Tendon reconstructions of the rotator cuffs, stabilisation operations and joint replacement operations (shoulder prostheses) are performed most frequently. Our specialists also know how to treat shoulder dislocations or instability, a calcific shoulder or frozen shoulder. Have you been diagnosed with impingement syndrome? Then arrange a consultation at Zollikerberg Hospital.

Elbow surgery

Minimally invasive joint-preserving operations such as arthroscopy, tennis elbow surgery or arthrolysis to improve mobility are offered for the elbow joint. Elbow instability, torn tendons or ligaments as well as a stiff elbow joint restrict everyday life enormously. Talk to us and let us show you possible treatments.
