Whether caused by trauma, overuse, or degeneration, these injuries can significantly impact daily function and quality of life. Dr. Ishan Shevate, a leading orthopedic specialist, offers expert insight into the diagnosis, management, and prevention of various shoulder conditions. Anatomy of the Shoulder The shoulder is a highly mobile joint composed of three main bones: Humerus (upper arm bone) Scapula (shoulder blade) Clavicle (collarbone) The joint is stabilized by muscles, tendons, and ligaments, including the rotator cuff, which plays a key role in movement and stability. Common Shoulder Injuries Rotator Cuff Tears Cause: Overuse, trauma, or age-related degeneration. Symptoms: Pain during movement, weakness, and limited range of motion. Treatment: Ranges from physiotherapy to surgical repair.
Shoulder Dislocation Cause: Trauma or sports injuries. Symptoms: Severe pain, visible deformity, and inability to move the joint. Treatment: Manual reduction, immobilization, and rehabilitation. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Cause: Often idiopathic, but associated with diabetes and immobility. Symptoms: Stiffness, pain, and restricted motion. Treatment: Physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or manipulation under anesthesia. Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Cause: Compression of tendons or bursa in the subacromial space.
