| AC joint separation | is a shoulder injury involving torn ligaments. It's common in sports and usually results from a fall on the shoulder. There are six types, from mild sprains to severe tears. |
| Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation r | refers to an injury in which the distal clavicle usually is displaced superiorly. This injury most commonly is caused by a fall and is more common in children than adults |
| Bankart lesion | is an injury of the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid labrum. often is caused by anterior dislocation of the proximal humerus. Repeated dislocation may result in a small avulsion fracture in the anteroinferior region of the glenoid rim. |
| Bursitis | is an inflammation of the bursae, or fluid-filled sacs enclosing the joints. The shoulder is the most common joint to develop bursitis, with repetitive motion being the most common cause. However, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, and infection can a |
| Hill-Sachs defect | is a compression fracture of the articular surface of the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head that often is associated with an anterior dislocation of the humeral head. |
| Idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis | (frozen shoulder) is a disability of the shoulder joint that is caused by chronic inflammation in and around the joint. It is characterized by pain and limitation of motion. (Idiopathic means “of unknown cause.”) |
| Impingement syndrome | is impingement of the greater tuberosity and soft tissues on the coracoacromial ligamentous and osseous arch, generally during abduction of the arm |
| Osteoarthritis | also called degenerative joint disease (DJD), is a noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation. DJD is the most common type of arthritis and is considered part of the nor |
| Osteoporosis | and resultant fractures are due to a reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue. Osteoporosis occurs in postmenopausal women and elderly men, resulting in bony trabeculae that are scanty and thin. Most fractures sustained by women old |
| Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | is a chronic systemic disease characterized by inflammatory changes that occur throughout the connective tissues of the body. The inflammation begins in synovial membranes and can later involve the articular cartilage and bony cortex. RA occurs more freq |
| Rotator cuff pathology | is acute or chronic, traumatic injury to one or more of the rotator cuff muscles: teres minor, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. Rotator cuff injuries limit the range of motion of the shoulder. The most common injury of the rotator cuff is |
| Shoulder dislocation | is traumatic removal of humeral head from the glenoid cavity. Of shoulder dislocations, 95% are anterior, in which the humeral head is projected anterior to the glenoid cavity. |
| Tendonitis | is an inflammatory condition of the tendon that usually results from a strain. |
