The AC-joint is located between the collar bone and the shoulder bone and normally allows a gliding motion, but on dislocation causes injury and pain.
A surgical procedure is advised as the bicep tendon will not heal by itself. If left untreated the tendon can retract and it becomes irreparable.
A calcium deposit accumulates in one of the tendons of the shoulder. The cause is unknown and not related to injury, diet or osteoporosis.
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments and tendons. The most common bones to fracture in the shoulder is the Humerus, Glenoid, Scapula and Clavicle.
This is a very frustrating condition to treat because most medical aids refuse to pay for treatment.
It is most common in females but could affect males and other age groups. It may follow injuries or be associated with medical conditions like diabetes mellitus.
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments and tendons. The most common bones to fracture in the shoulder is the Humerus, Glenoid, Scapula and Clavicle.
Healing takes place on 2 phases: Acute healing (6 weeks) and remodeling or secondary phase (more than a year). Healing of any tissue takes place through the inflammatory process.
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments and tendons. The most common bones to fracture in the shoulder is the Humerus, Glenoid, Scapula and Clavicle.
This is when the tip of the shoulder (tuberositas of humerus – part of shoulder) compresses the tendons (pinch or impinge) on the acromion.
Osteoarthritis means loss of cartilage resulting in a “bone on bone” situation, and increased painful motion.
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments and tendons. The most common bones to fracture in the shoulder is the Humerus, Glenoid, Scapula and Clavicle.
The ball is stabilized in the socket by a cartilage rim (“labarum”, which means “lip”) and the ligaments, which attach to the labarum.
The shoulder is a ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid). The muscles act to elevate the arm. The large outside muscle is the deltoid and deep to that is the rotator cuff.
