From Surgeon to Patient and Back With the Eclipse™ Total Shoulder System - Dubbed

I've done a lot of sports since I was a child. I always wanted to do something connected with sports and medicine. I studied medicine in Cordoba, Argentina. A city close to where I was born. It was there that I trained to be a doctor. And after that I did my residency in orthopedic surgery and traumatology. When I was around 20, I started having problems with my shoulder related to the different sports I played. Then at that time I played rugby, rode motocross, swam a lot and ran triathlons. Then at some point, I sustained an injury that must have been knowing what I do today, a case of shoulder instability without dislocation. Every day I struggled not to take painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs that could cause more systemic damage. My emotional state at the time clearly affected my personal, family, sports, social and recreational life. The joint presented severe wear and tear with loss of joint space and joint collapse. Both articular surfaces were rubbing bone on bone, which caused such extensive wear that it led to bone spurs and loose bodies, as well as severe joint deterioration both in the humeral and glenoid side. It was so severe that the ultimate solution was going to be joint replacement. I mainly chose the eclipse prosthesis because even though it is a total shoulder prosthesis, it has all the modern technology of a less invasive prosthesis that allows more bone to be preserved, especially in the proximal humerus area. I felt very well. My pain management was truly remarkable. I didn't have any post-operative pain. I immediately started doing very simple periscapular exercises to start moving my scapula as well. Usually, one of the most serious issues in shoulder surgery is that the scapula is stuck to the chest, and it's very hard to regain mobility. So I started exercising the first morning after surgery. It went much faster than I thought it would. It took me a month to regain full passive range of motion, and one and a half or two months for full active range of motion accompanied by the correct exercise plan. I believe that joint replacement brought me comfort. I'm getting back to normal life, like in my 20s or mid 20s in terms of recreational activities and shoulder mobility. While a patient will never have the knowledge of a doctor with years of training in this pathology, Orthopaedia is helpful to understand and choose the procedure and prosthesis required for different types of conditions. I felt that my shoulder was relieved of the constant pressure it was under that constant joint collapse, and that I regained motion almost immediately. Now I can go back to my normal life again.
