A rotator cuff tear is marked by damage to one (or more) of the four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Warning signs of a torn rotator cuff are typically felt in the shoulder area. Both partial rotator cuff tears and complete, full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) can make arm movements difficult and cause sharp pain or a dull ache in the shoulder that worsens at night.
A proximal humeral fracture is a broken bone that occurs near your shoulder joint. "Proximal" refers to being close to your body, and "humeral" refers to the arm bone known as the humerus.
Published results showed patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty with glenoid and humeral components from different manufacturers had similar 2-year outcomes compared with patients who had implants from the same manufacturer.
Did you know that in some Olympic Sports, like BMX racing, there is a one-in-three chance that the contestant will be injured during the course of the event? On the other hand, some Olympic sports are very safe, like canoeing, with only a 2% chance of injury.
A rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that stabilize the shoulder and help move the arm. Tissue in this part of the body can become impinged or pinched. Unfortunately, this injury can cause significant pain and may severely limit your normal arm movements and activities.
