The Shoulder and Elbow Unit is fully equipped to treat any type of shoulder and elbow disorder. To this end, we use the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, complemented by 3D printing.

They also have extensive experience in the treatment of fractures, osteoarthritis and tumour pathologies. The unit works closely with other medical specialties in cases that require multidisciplinary care, such as oncology, haematology, vascular surgery, plastic surgery and general surgery.

Professionals in this unit work closely with other medical specialties in cases that require a multidisciplinary approach, such as tumours, diabetic foot, neurological foot and rheumatic foot. The members of this team are also regular speakers at national and international courses and conferences focused on the foot and ankle.

Our unit is recognised by the SEMCPT (Spanish Society of Foot and Ankle Medicine and Surgery) as a centre of excellence for accredited rotations in this specialty.

Likewise, within its area of specialisation in arthroscopy and tenoscopy, the unit contributes to the accreditation of the Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Service as a centre of excellence recognised by the AEA (Spanish Arthroscopy Association).

The unit is equipped with advanced technology to treat a wide range of spinal disorders. The use of the latest diagnostic imaging techniques helps reduce surgical risks and facilitates more effective treatment and faster recovery times.

This unit is fitted with the infrastructure required to address all hip problems, using the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, which minimises surgical risks and lays the foundation for optimal treatment and rapid recovery.

Specialists are specially trained in sports traumatology and collaborate with various sports federations for the care and rehabilitation of athletes. They also specialise in the treatment of fractures, cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis and tumour diseases.

In addition, they are active members of the main national and international societies related to hip injuries. Accredited by the Spanish Arthroscopy Association for the training of doctors and specialists.

Paediatric orthopaedics deals with the screening, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of multiple conditions and deformities affecting the musculoskeletal system, using medical and surgical procedures throughout the child’s growth period. Olympia Centro Médico Pozuelo offers virtually all the treatments and procedures accepted in this discipline.

The doctors in the Biological Therapy Unit have extensive experience in the use of biological treatments. Biological treatments are mainly intended for patients with tendinitis, osteoarthritis, muscle injuries and sports injuries.

The platelet-rich plasma technique involves extracting blood from the patient for centrifugation to separate the various components into different fractions: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and proteins. The plasma obtained is injected into the area to be treated either directly or with ultrasound guidance.

The unit’s portfolio of services includes the diagnosis and treatment of all benign and malignant, primary and metastatic bone and soft tissue tumours, as well as pseudotumour lesions that may be confused with these pathologies. Image interpretation in different clinical contexts; closed and open biopsies; minimally invasive procedures; prevention and treatment of pathological fractures in bone metastases.

Many hip and knee problems originate from abnormal gait. Specific exercises or the use of orthopaedic insoles, devices and footwear can often provide a conservative solution to certain musculoskeletal disorders. Many sports injuries are reversible with suitable mechanical treatment using insoles.

The occupational therapy unit performs an ergonomic and biomechanical analysis of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. This is essential for determining the cause of many pains and problems in the hands, wrists, and even the elbow and shoulder.

The aim of this consultation is to complement the assessment carried out by the orthopaedic surgeon, increasing the information available and, if necessary, designing custom-made splints for hand or upper limb conditions.
