The Shoulder and Elbow Surgery department at Schulthess Klinik has successfully operated on freestyle wrestler and Olympic champion Akhmed Tazhudinov. Before his surgery, the athlete, who competes for Bahrain, won the gold medal in freestyle wrestling in the 97 kg weight class at the Olympic Games in Paris despite a serious shoulder injury.
As early as the first few days after surgery, conscious breathing helps to stabilise circulation and promote healing. Breathing therapy is therefore an important part of inpatient rehabilitation at Schulthess Klinik. It supports lung function, prevents complications and contributes to general well-being.

Osteoarthritis does not always affect all areas of the knee joint. If only the kneecap or the inner or outer part of the knee joint is affected by wear, a partial knee prosthesis (also known as a sled prosthesis) may be considered. Compared to a total prosthesis, a partial prosthesis generally results in better mobility and a more natural-feeling knee.
An artificial knee joint is used to replace the natural sliding and surface areas of the knee joint when these have become worn. The components for replacing these surfaces, the femoral cap and the tibial plate, are made from highly polished metal (cobalt-chromium alloy). Between the metal surfaces there is a cartilage replacement made from polyethylene (a highly advanced plastic). Once the components of the artificial knee joint have been implanted in the body, they are held together in a stable position and guided during movement by the knee’s own ligaments, the joint capsule and the strength of the muscles.
