Welcome to this Shoulder Page of Dr. Hans J. Poessel, a highly skilled and experienced German Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing in the UAE. Dr. Poessel specializes in the comprehensive management of Biceps Tendinitis, offering easy-to-understand and comprehensive care for patients seeking relief from this common condition.

Biceps tendinitis, also known as bicipital tendinitis, is a condition characterized by inflammation or irritation of the biceps tendon. This tendon connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder and can become painful and inflamed due to repetitive overhead activities, overuse, or degenerative changes.

Understanding the impact that biceps tendinitis can have on your arm function and overall well-being, Dr. Poessel is committed to providing personalized treatment options to alleviate pain, restore strength, and optimize recovery.

When you choose Dr. Hans J. Poessel for your biceps tendinitis treatment, you can expect the following comprehensive approach:

1. Accurate Diagnosis: Dr. Poessel begins by conducting a thorough evaluation, including a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays, MRI scans, or ultrasound, may be utilized to confirm the diagnosis, assess the extent of the inflammation, and rule out other underlying conditions.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments: As an initial approach, Dr. Poessel explores conservative treatment options for biceps tendinitis. These may include rest, activity modification, physical therapy, and targeted exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles, improve shoulder function, and reduce pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections may be recommended to alleviate pain and inflammation.

3. Advanced Surgical Techniques: If conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief or if the tendinitis is severe, Dr. Poessel has extensive expertise in performing surgical interventions for biceps tendinitis. Surgical procedures may involve removing the inflamed portion of the tendon or reattaching the tendon to the bone, depending on the specific case and patient’s needs.

4. Rehabilitation and Follow-up Care: Dr. Poessel recognizes the importance of post-treatment rehabilitation in optimizing recovery and restoring arm strength, mobility, and function. He collaborates closely with rehabilitation specialists to develop personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your specific needs. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress, adjust the rehabilitation plan as necessary, and ensure optimal outcomes.

5. Patient Education and Support: Dr. Poessel prioritizes patient education and ensures that you have a clear understanding of your condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes. He takes the time to answer your questions, provide guidance, and offer ongoing support throughout your recovery journey.
