The Orthopedic Shoulder Surgery Clinic of Metropolitan Hospital was established in 2023, yet it already carries… 38 years of expertise. This reflects the years of specialization in shoulder surgery at one of Athens’ largest public hospitals by the Clinic’s founder, Dr. Ioannis Feroussis. This experience, combined with the expertise of his team and the cutting-edge technology at Metropolitan Hospital, has made the new Clinic a benchmark in shoulder surgery in Greece from the very first day of its operation.
The shoulder and its conditions
The shoulder is one of the most important joints in the human body, allowing a wide range of motion that enables the arm to move in all directions. For athletes, the shoulder joint is particularly important, as it is heavily involved in many sports such as swimming, basketball, tennis, volleyball, throwing events, and more.
The restoration of shoulder conditions is a complex process, and surgical repair requires considerable expertise. Such conditions affect all age groups. Older patients often present with arthritis, degenerative tendon tears, fractures, and more, while younger patients and athletes may experience dislocations, traumatic tendon tears, high-impact fractures (humerus, clavicle, scapula), frozen shoulder, and other conditions.
The Orthopedic Shoulder Surgery Clinic of Metropolitan Hospital offers the unique combination of years of consistently pioneering experience in shoulder surgery by its director and team, along with the comfort and multidisciplinary support needed to address your health issue. From arthroscopy to biological therapies, and from arthroplasty to osteosynthesis, the specialized medical staff is here to answer your questions and recommend the most appropriate treatments.
Beyond general orthopedic conditions, the Clinic also manages complex and challenging disorders of the Shoulder Girdle, whether they are trauma-related or chronic, degenerative conditions.
The Orthopedic Shoulder Surgery Clinic of Metropolitan Hospital accepts emergency cases 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
