Medical Experience

Dr. Popescu is recognized as one of the leading specialists in shoulder and upper limb surgery, treating a wide variety of conditions — from traumatic injuries, joint instabilities, and rotator cuff tears, to post-traumatic reconstructive art and joint replacement.

Annually, he performs a significant volume of interventions: shoulder arthroscopies, reconstructions, stabilizations and prosthetics, which gives him solid experience and increased familiarity with modern, minimally invasive techniques, but also with complex situations that require open or reconstructive interventions.

Through his skills, Dr. Popescu can offer patients personalized options, adapted to the severity of the injury: from conservative treatments, imaging investigations (including musculoskeletal ultrasound), to arthroscopic, reconstructive or prosthetic interventions.

Do you recognize these symptoms?

Rupture of one or more tendons in the shoulder (rotator cuff tear):

  • You can no longer raise your arm above your head.
  • Sharp pain in the shoulder, especially at night
  • Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
  • You have been diagnosed with a partial or complete tendon rupture
  • You have had shoulder injections and the pain persists.

Problems with shoulder instability (dislocated, popping shoulder):

  • Your shoulder "pops out of place" or feels like it might
  • You have had a shoulder dislocation (one or more)
  • The shoulder feels "unsteady" during certain movements or sports
  • You have a recurring dislocation and don't know if you need surgery.

Why Dr. Ion-Andrei Popescu?

Not all orthopedic surgeons specialize in treating shoulder conditions. Dr. Popescu works exclusively on shoulder pathology and operates on an impressive number of patients annually, including many high-performance athletes. His expertise and dedicated routine make the difference.

Superspecialization in shoulder surgery
Advanced international training in arthroscopy, reconstructive surgery and prosthetics — techniques that few surgeons in Romania practice at high volume within a superspecialization.
2
Internationally recognized
Invited as faculty to international shoulder surgery conferences, Dr. Popescu presents and demonstrates advanced techniques alongside world leaders in the field.
3
Specialist in complex cases and revisions
He also treats patients with previous surgical failures or cases refused by other surgeons — massive rotator cuff tears, complex instabilities, minimally invasive surgical revisions.
4
High volume of annual interventions
Hundreds of arthroscopies, reconstructions, and prosthetics per year — volume matters in shoulder surgery, as in any profession. Overspecialization yields predictable results.
5
Surgeries at Metropolitan Hospital
Modern operating room infrastructure, high-quality anesthesia and a dedicated team for safe results.

FAQ

1. Do I need a referral from my family doctor?
It is not mandatory for a private consultation at ORTOPEDICUM or for a surgical intervention at Metropolitan Hospital.
2. I already have an MRI — do I bring it to the consultation?
Yes, absolutely. If you don't have any, Dr. Popescu can recommend the necessary investigations.
3. Is surgery the only solution?
Not always. Many patients are treated conservatively. The decision is made on an individual basis, after a complete evaluation, according to medical and scientific evidence.
4. How long does recovery take after a shoulder arthroscopy?
It depends on the type of intervention. Dr. Popescu explains the recovery plan in detail during the consultation.
