Shoulder

Shoulder injuries can happen suddenly, or develop over time from everyday movement and activity. When injury occurs, the shoulder’s ability to function is disrupted, impacting the intricate workings of bones, muscles, ligaments and other structures. Treatments for shoulder problems range from physical therapy to medications to surgery.
Most Common Conditions (6)More Conditions (4)
Rotator Cuff Tear
A muscle or tendon tears in the cuff surrounding the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Arthritis
Deterioration of the joint’s cartilage and lining that causes pain and swelling.
Shoulder Impingement
The rotator cuff becomes pinched between two shoulder bones when the arm is raised.
Shoulder Separation
This occurs when the normal alignment is disrupted in the acromioclavicular joint (AC joint).
SLAP Tear
An injury to the labrum, the shoulder socket lining, where it attaches to the bicep.
Traumatic Shoulder Instability
The normal ball in socket formation is disrupted from several shoulder dislocations.

Conditions


Dislocated Shoulder
The ball and socket shoulder structure is disrupted, resulting in the ball going outside the socket.
Frozen Shoulder
Contracting and thickening of joint tissue, causing painful, restricted movement.
Proximal Humerus Fracture
The "ball" of the ball and socket shoulder joint is broken from a fall or direct hit.
Rotator Cuff Tear
A muscle or tendon tears in the cuff surrounding the shoulder joint.
