8 Types of Shoulder Surgeries
Common types of shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and arthroscopy for conditions like frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome. In general, these and other shoulder procedures help treat shoulder injuries by repairing or replacing cartilage, tendons and ligaments, muscles, and joints.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case control study
Shoulder arthroscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for painful anatomical shoulder arthroplasty offering some therapeutic opportunities. It has been demonstrated as a sensitive option to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection and is most frequently used for this purpose. Additionally, it offers the possibility of diagnosing some complications after shoulder arthroplasty such as component loosening or rotator cuff failure. As therapeutic options are mostly limited to arthrolysis, and débridement and decompression, most patients will have to face a revision arthroplasty. Nevertheless, diagnostic arthroscopy provides a valuable tool to gain information on the cause of the symptoms to determine further steps of treatment.
Understanding the Key Differences Between Abduction and Adduction
Abduction and adduction are shoulder and hip movements that occur in the body's frontal plane—an imaginary line that divides the body into front and back halves. They're essential for stability and injury prevention in your shoulders, pelvis, and lower back.
X-ray analytics in motion: Dynamic 3D diagnosis for unstable shoulders
After a shoulder injury has been treated, patients are often left with a feeling of insecurity—many of them report that their shoulder "doesn't hold" or "slips out easily." When diagnosing shoulder instabilities, doctors often have to rely on these subjective assessments. The reason: Conventional imaging methods do not capture the movement of the shoulder
