Shoulder Conditions

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body, enabling a wide range of movements. It is a ball-and-socket joint made up of three bones,

The scapula (shoulder blade) is a flat, triangular bone providing attachment to the muscles of the back, neck, chest and arm.

The break or fracture of the clavicle (collarbone) is a common sports injury associated with contact sports

Fractures of the glenoid are rare but can occur due to major trauma or during high-energy sports activities.

A dislocation occurs when the ends of your bones are partially or completely moved out of their normal position in a joint.

Sports that involve overhead movements and repeated use of the shoulder at your workplace may lead to sliding of the upper arm bone from the glenoid.

Shoulder injuries most commonly occur in athletes participating in sports such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting.
