Other Shoulder Conditions
Less common shoulder conditions
Frozen shoulder – also known as adhesive capsulitis, this is where the shoulder joint capsule hardens usually in response to trauma or surgery. This results in a widespread stiffening of the shoulder. Commonly over-diagnosed.
Shoulder Dislocation – the arm bone (humerus) is forced out of the shoulder joint, usually by trauma.
Shoulder instability – a loose shoulder joint which usually results after dislocation
Acromioclavicular (AC) Dislocation – the clavicle (collar bone) is forced out of joint. Usually results from a fall on an outstretched hand.
Labral tear – the rim of the shoulder joint is torn during trauma. Most common in contact sports such as rugby.
Shoulder Arthritis (of the glenohumeral joint) – degeneration of the head of the humerus.
Biceps Tendon rupture – the biceps (upper arm muscle with two heads) tendon pulls off the bone as a result of trauma.
