Leading European expertise

For over two decades, Dr Collin has devoted his career exclusively to shoulder surgery. Past President of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and the Elbow, he is recognised as the best shoulder surgeon in Paris according to Le Point magazine's ranking. This excellence attracts patients from across Africa, particularly from Côte d'Ivoire, seeking the best possible care.

Comprehensive management of shoulder conditions

The shoulder is a complex joint, intensely used every day and therefore particularly exposed to trauma and wear. Dr Collin masters all the conditions and surgical techniques of this joint.

Among the most common conditions is the rotator cuff tear. These tendons, essential to shoulder mobility, can tear, causing pain and significant functional limitation. Dr Collin performs meticulous surgical repairs that restore shoulder function.

His particular expertise lies in shoulder replacements, whether anatomic or reverse. These procedures, which have evolved considerably in recent years, now deliver excellent results with often complete functional recovery. Patients can generally return to their activities after an appropriate period of rehabilitation.

Shoulder calcifications, calcium deposits in the tendons causing acute pain, are another frequent reason for consultation. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) presents with pain followed by progressive stiffening that requires specific treatment. Instability and recurrent shoulder dislocations, particularly in young people, also benefit from effective surgical solutions.

A commitment to research and training

Beyond his clinical work, Dr Collin is deeply committed to research and training. He has trained surgeons on every continent and regularly publishes in international scientific journals.
