Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in middle-aged adults and older individuals. The cause of these tears is multifactorial. There are extrinsic factors that can cause a rotator cuff lesion such as impingement of the acromion into the bursal side of the rotator cuff.

Shoulder instability is characterized by the disruption of the native dynamic and static stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint (shoulder), leading to dislocation or subluxation.
The Bankart lesion is the most common feature of anterior shoulder instability. It is seen in the majority of patients that presents with subluxation or dislocation events.

The knee menisci are important structures that provide lubrication, stability, joint congruity, load transmission, and functionally act as “shock absorbers” for joint preservation.

Acromioclavicular injuries result from direct trauma to the shoulder from a fall or in contact sports when the arm is in an adducted position. The force pushes the acromion inferiorly while the clavicle maintains its anatomic position, resulting in a variable disruption of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments.

Shoulder arthroplasty remains the standard treatment to restore shoulder function and improve patient’s quality of life in severe arthritis of the glenohumeral joint

Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of the knee’s cartilage. It cause pains, stiffness and a walking difficulty requiring the use of painkillers.
Cartilage wear is irreversible and osteoarthritis does not heal spontaneously. The natural evolution is towards a progressive deterioration of the articulation and an important limitation of the knee’s mobility. Painkillers will be no longer effective. The purpose of the operation is pain relief and the recovery of the knee’s mobility.

A hallux valgus deformity, commonly called a bunion, is defined by a medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation of the great toe (hallux). The condition can lead to painful motion of the joint and shoe wear difficulty. It may be associated with metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot) and lesser toes deformities (hammertoes, claw toes).

Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of the hip cartilage. It cause pains, stiffness and a walking difficulty requiring the use of painkillers and cruches.
Cartilage wear is irreversible and osteoarthritis does not heal spontaneously. The natural evolution is towards a progressive deterioration of the articulation and an increasingly important limitation of the hip’s mobility. Painkillers will be no longer effective. This procedure is performed for pain relief and the recovery of the hip’s mobility.
Dr Yaacoub performs a mini-invasive primary hip replacement. He doesn’t cut any muscle and does the rottinger approach and the direct anterior approach.

The Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key structure in the knee joint. It resists anterior tibial translation and rotational loads.
The ACL is the most frequently completely disrupted ligament in the knee; most of these injuries occur in athletes. Successful reconstruction of the ACL has been proven to improve knee function and stability.
