The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body that helps you to rotate your arm in many positions – upward, to the side, in front, and behind. However, this flexibility also increases the susceptibility of the shoulder joint to instability and injuries.
For Shoulder joint pathologies, non-surgical treatment options may be recommended, however, in certain conditions, Surgery is the choice of treatment as delaying the surgery can increase the likelihood of more serious problems. An early diagnosis and treatment of the joint can help make a significant difference in the quality of life and function in the long run.
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint that enables you to raise, twist, and bend your arm. It also lets you move your arm forward, to the side, and behind you. In a normal shoulder, the rounded end of the upper arm bone (head of the humerus) glides against the small dish-like socket (glenoid) in the shoulder blade (scapula). These joint surfaces are normally covered with smooth cartilage. They allow the shoulder to rotate through a greater range of motion than any other joint in the body. It also makes the shoulder a highly unstable joint.
The rotator cuff muscles surround the shoulder joint and form a joint capsule to provide stability to the joint.
- Rotator cuff tear
- Shoulder Instability & Reverse Shoulder Dislocation
- Subacromial Bursitis & Tendonitis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Calcific Tendonitis
- Fracture Collar Bone & AC Joint Disruption
- SLAP Tear
- Fracture Humerus Head
- Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
Being the most mobile joint, and very actively used in sports person, Shoulder dislocation is commonly seen especially in sports requiring frequent throwing. There is a very high chance of the shoulder getting dislocated from its socket due to injury to shoulder stabilizers of the joint. In some cases, the glenoid labral tissue is torn (Bankart Lesion), and a bony defect in the humeral head (Hilosach’s lesion) may occur which may lead to Instability & Recurrent Dislocation.
A proper evaluation by an Orthopaedic & Shoulder Surgeon is required. The Surgeon would suggest a dynamic MRI of the Shoulder Joint to quantify the injury & bone loss.
Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation play a role in only select cases (Ist time dislocation). However, most cases of Shoulder Instability require Surgical Treatment.
The various surgical treatment options depend on the amount of percentage of bone loss & the size of the lesion on the MRI.
Treatment options are –
- Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
- REMPLISSAGE in cases of Hill-sach lesion
- LATARJET in cases of larger tears and bone loss
