  2. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    The shoulder joint is made up of three bones: the shoulder blade (scapula), the collarbone (clavicle) and the upper arm bone (humerus). The acromion is a bony process at the end of the scapula. The shoulder is a complex mechanism involving bones, ligaments, joints, muscles, and tendons.

  3. Shoulder problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_problem

    Problems seen with a dislocated shoulder are tearing of the ligaments or tendons reinforcing the joint capsule and, less commonly, nerve damage. Doctors usually diagnose a dislocation by a physical examination, but X-rays are taken to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out a related fracture and other complications.

  4. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    Avoiding movement of the shoulder joint allows the torn tendon to fully heal. [24] Once the tendon is entirely recovered, passive exercises can be implemented. Passive exercises of the shoulder are movements in which a physical therapist maintains the arm in a particular position, manipulating the rotator cuff without any effort by the patient ...

  5. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and loss of movement at the ...

  6. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    The shoulder joint is a muscle-dependent joint as it lacks strong ligaments. The primary stabilizers of the shoulder include the biceps brachii on the anterior side of the arm, and tendons of the rotator cuff ; which are fused to all sides of the capsule except the inferior margin.

  7. SLAP tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAP_tear

    A SLAP tear or SLAP lesion is an injury to the superior glenoid labrum (fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder blade) that initiates in the back of the labrum and stretches toward the front into the attachment point of the long head of the biceps tendon.

  8. Dead arm syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_arm_syndrome

    Dead arm syndrome starts with repetitive motion and forces on the posterior capsule of the shoulder. The posterior capsule is a band of fibrous tissue that interconnects with tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Four muscles and their tendons make up the rotator cuff. They cover the outside of the shoulder to hold, protect and move the ...

  9. Subacromial bursitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacromial_bursitis

    Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.
