What is scoliosis?
Impingement syndrome is caused by the excessive squeezing or rubbing of the rotator cuff and shoulder blade. The pain associated with the syndrome is a result of an inflamed bursa (lubricating sac) over the rotator cuff, and/or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons, and/or calcium deposits in tendons due to wear and tear. Shoulder impingement syndrome can lead to a torn rotator cuff.
Shoulder instability is a condition that occurs when the muscles, ligaments and tendons that surround the shoulder joint loosen and do not keep the ball in the socket.
Although the shoulder is the most movable joint in the body, it is also an unstable joint because of its range-of-motion. Because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the socket of the shoulder, it is susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint must also be supported by soft tissues - muscles, tendons, and ligaments - which are also subject to injury, overuse, and under use.
When Is Shoulder Replacement Surgery Indicated?
Shoulder tendonitis is a condition in which your rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon becomes irritated or inflamed.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder that affects hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen through the body. This disorder causes red blood cells to take a crescent shape rather than the typical round form.
