MyHealth – patient experience at the core

It is important to identify the most effective treatments and ensure the quality of care in healthcare. At Tyks Orto, we monitor the functional capacity and quality of life of our patients with electronic Omavointi questionnaires. By comparing the results of the surveys before and after treatment, we can see how our patients themselves felt about their health with the advanced treatment, i.e. the effectiveness of the treatment given.

Shoulder Osteoarthritis – exercise or joint replacement as a solution?

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. For this reason, shoulder problems often cause significant difficulties for patients in daily life and present challenges for orthopedic surgeons treating them. It is estimated that up to one in five people over the age of 45 with shoulder pain have underlying shoulder osteoarthritis. Shoulder osteoarthritis is the third most common large-joint osteoarthritis after hip and knee osteoarthritis.
