  2. Acromioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioplasty

    Acromioplasty is an arthroscopic surgical procedure involving the acromion, a bony process of the shoulder blade.. Generally, it implies removal of a small piece of the surface of the acromion that is in contact with a tendon of the rotator cuff causing, by friction, damage to the tendon.

  3. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    One action the scapula performs during a throwing or serving motion is elevation of the acromion process in order to avoid impingement of the rotator cuff tendons. [8] If the scapula fails to properly elevate the acromion, impingement may occur during the cocking and acceleration phase of an overhead activity.

  4. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    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. The two main causes are acute injury or chronic and cumulative degeneration of the shoulder joint. Mechanisms can be extrinsic, intrinsic or a combination of both. [27]

  5. 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.

  6. Separated shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separated_shoulder

    A separated shoulder, also known as acromioclavicular joint injury, is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint. [2] The AC joint is located at the outer end of the clavicle where it attaches to the acromion of the scapula. [2] Symptoms include non-radiating pain which may make it difficult to move the shoulder.

  7. Neer impingement test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neer_Impingement_Test

    When performing the Neer impingement test, the elbow should be extended, humerus in internal rotation and the forearm pronated. When the examiner is passively flexing the arm forward, it is causing compression of the structures between the greater tuberosity, inferior acromion process and the acromioclavicular joint. [1]

  9. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    The tempo and intensity of the stages are solely reliant on the extent of the injury and the patient's activity necessities. [25] The first stage requires immobilization of the shoulder joint . The shoulder that is injured is placed in a sling and shoulder flexion or abduction of the arm is avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery (Brewster, 1993).
