When choosing a clinic for shoulder replacement, pay attention to:

  • Orthopedic qualification. Choose a doctor with at least 1,000 shoulder replacement procedures. During the operation, such doctors do little to no damage to nearby tissues, and they have more skills in determining the optimal position of the implant than less experienced orthopedists.
  • Endoprosthesis brand. It is important that hospital doctors use implants from world-class manufacturers that have passed safety and quality control - DePuy Synthes, Smith & Nephew, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Wright Medical Group. The service life of such endoprostheses, according to manufacturers, exceeds 20-25 years. They have an extended range, so orthopedists install a model that fits patients in shape and size.
  • The presence of a rehabilitation center. Thanks to this, it is possible to restore the full function of the joint after surgery.

Bookimed has collected clinics around the world where shoulder replacement is done. Hospitals are presented in a ranking based on the choice of our patients. Leave a request on the site, and the coordinating doctor will contact you.

Having made an initial enquiry on line, I was impressed by the follow up and treatment proposals and costs I did some research and determined that I needed to get the very best medical attention It was a great help to have somebody with me during the day of the tests, sorting my papers and dealing with translation. Absolutely invaluable Everything was explained to me in detail My only comments are that it would have been good to have been informed about the number of nights stay in the hospital I expected an overnight stay after the procedure In fact for good reasons it was a total of three nights

With the organization of medical services, everything went clearly according to the previous plan. Tatyana, the representative of the company, is very communicative, explains everything, no complaints, even came at 7.30 for the procedure, although there was no translation. I made a slight remark, the price for some services was not announced to me , but in fact it was added... These side effects must also be voiced before the trip...... The hospital is on the level, I felt calm there, I have complete trust in the doctors, you can calmly go for treatment.....

I really like the doctor's approach, very friendly and made me feel comfortable. He was willing to hear my questions and explained the whole procedure and post operation requirements. The doctor's personal assistance was also in the call and immediately after she contacted me to ask if there all was ok and if there is anything else I needed to ask.
