Common Shoulder Injuries
1. Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) is forcibly separated from the shoulder joint’s socket (glenoid). It is one of the most frequently dislocated major joints in the body, often resulting from a significant impact or force.
Symptoms:
Intense shoulder pain
Swelling and bruising
Visible deformity of the shoulder
Limited mobility and a feeling of instability
Causes:
Sports injuries
Falls onto an outstretched arm
High-impact trauma, such as during motor vehicle accidents
Treatment:
Immediate immobilization with a sling
Manual reduction to reposition the joint
Pain relief with ice packs and anti-inflammatory medications
Rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and mobility
Surgery in cases of recurring dislocations or ligament damage
2. Shoulder Separation (AC Joint Separation)
A shoulder separation occurs when the ligaments connecting the collarbone (clavicle) to the shoulder blade (scapula) are torn or partially torn. This injury typically involves the acromioclavicular (AC) joint.
Symptoms:
Pain at the top of the shoulder
Swelling and bruising
Limited shoulder movement
A visible bump or deformity near the AC joint
Causes:
Direct impact to the shoulder, such as during contact sports
Falls directly onto the shoulder
Treatment:
Rest and immobilization with a sling
Ice packs to reduce swelling
Physical therapy to rebuild strength
Surgery for severe ligament tears or persistent instability
3. Bursitis
Shoulder bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa sacs, which cushion and reduce friction between bones and soft tissues in the shoulder. It often develops alongside tendonitis or impingement syndrome.
Symptoms:
Shoulder pain, especially during movement
Swelling and tenderness
Reduced range of motion
Causes:
Repetitive overhead activities or motions
Direct trauma to the shoulder
Underlying conditions like arthritis
Treatment:
Rest and avoiding aggravating activities
Application of ice packs to reduce inflammation
Anti-inflammatory medications
Corticosteroid injections for severe pain
Physical therapy to improve flexibility and strength
4. Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear involves the partial or complete tearing of one or more rotator cuff tendons, often due to overuse, aging, or sudden trauma.
Symptoms:
Sharp or persistent shoulder pain
Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
Cracking or popping sounds during movement
Causes:
Overhead repetitive activities
Aging-related tendon degeneration
Falls or collisions
Treatment:
Rest and ice packs to manage pain
Anti-inflammatory medications
Physical therapy to restore shoulder function
Surgery for significant or complete tendon tears
