The NFL on Tuesday confirmed that Rodgers had torn his Achilles, an injury that’ll sideline him for the rest of the season and possibly longer. The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in the ...
This spontaneous recovery can occur because distance between the injury location and the deltoid muscle is small. [7] Spontaneous recovery may take as long as 12 months. [5] In order to combat pain and inflammation of nerves, medication may be prescribed. [2] Surgery is an option, but it has mixed results within the literature and is usually ...

Repair can be performed through an open incision, again requiring detachment of a portion of the deltoid, while a mini-open technique approaches the tear through a deltoid-splitting approach. The latter may cause less injury to muscle and produce better results. [72] Contemporary techniques now use an all arthroscopic approach.
