The acromio-clavicular joint is between the clavicle (collar bone) and the acromion (shoulder bone). This injury usually results from a fall onto the tip of the shoulder or on to the back of the shoulder.
The Biceps is an upper arm muscle that acts across the shoulder and elbow joints. At the elbow, it helps to bend the joint. At the shoulder, its function is more complex
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments and tendons. The most common bones to fracture in the shoulder is the Humerus, Glenoid, Scapula and Clavicle.
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that begins with a gradual onset of pain and a limitation of shoulder motion. The discomfort and loss of movement can become so severe that even simple daily activities become difficult.

This is when the tip of the shoulder (tuberositas of humerus – part of shoulder) compresses the tendons (pinch or impinge) on the acromion (a bony protrusion on the shoulder blade), usually due to bony spurs that form underneath the acromion or an injury sustained to this part.
The shoulder joint (gleno-humeral joint) is one of the most mobile joints in the body. The gleno-humeral joint consists of a ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid).
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 – a combined tendon inserting into a prominence on the head called the greater tuberosity.
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 shoulder consists of a ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid). The ball is stabilized in the socket by a cartilage rim (“labarum”, which means “lip”) and the ligaments, which attach to the labarum.
