A New Medical Achievement: Successful Shoulder Muscle Transfer Surgery
The orthopedic surgery team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif has successfully ended a long-standing suffering for a patient in her sixties by performing a muscle transfer surgery for the posterior right shoulder.
The patient had been enduring a tear in the tendons of her right shoulder for several years, causing her significant discomfort, severe pain, and great difficulty in moving her arm. After conducting the necessary tests and imaging, the medical team, under the supervision of Dr. Adnan Al-Shammari, Orthopedic Surgery Consultant, performed the muscle transfer procedure to replace the torn shoulder tendons, which had been damaged multiple times and were challenging to repair.
Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged after a few days in good health. She has now returned to her daily life and will undergo the required physical therapy sessions.
This type of surgery utilizes advanced medical techniques, which align with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company’s vision of recruiting top talents in specialized medical fields and employing the latest medical technologies and equipment in this domain.
