Rotator cuff repair surgery in Leadheal Hospital
About the clinic
Rotator cuff repair surgery at Leadheal Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, provides a solution for chronic shoulder pain and limited mobility. The clinic serves 44,000+ patients annually, specializing in advanced orthopedic care and arthroscopic techniques. Patients receive a tailored treatment plan based on a precise diagnosis of the pain cause, ranging from specialized physical therapy to minimally invasive surgery.
Treatment Methods and Technology
The hospital uses a Quick Care System to speed up the recovery process. This system combines on-site rapid diagnostics with immediate treatment planning. For rotator cuff tears, the medical team offers two main paths:
- Non-surgical therapy: This includes manual therapy, prolotherapy, and shockwave treatment. Patients may also undergo physical therapy using heat, electricity, or ultrasound to reduce inflammation.
- Arthroscopic surgery: This minimally invasive method uses a small camera inserted through a tiny incision. It allows the surgeon to see inside the joint for precise repair while causing less damage to surrounding tissue.
Expert Orthopedic Team
Surgery is performed by specialized orthopedic surgeons with deep experience in sports medicine. Dr. Joo Sung-hoon is a specialist in shoulder and elbow surgery. He completed a fellowship at St. Vincent's Hospital and is a member of the Korean Shoulder and Elbow Society. Dr. Lee Sang-heon treats complex cases involving degenerative arthritis and sports injuries. Dr. Kwak Woo-kyung also supports the department, focusing on arthroscopy and tendon disorders like calcific tendinitis.
Recovery and Patient Care
The goal of the customized approach is to help patients return to their daily lives quickly. By using arthroscopic methods, the surgeons keep incisions small to help reduce post-operative pain. The hospital provides all necessary diagnostic tools in one location. This helps the team move from the initial exam to treatment without long waiting periods.
