5 Shocking Shoulder Injury Facts You Must Know
Common Types of Shoulder Injuries
The shoulder is a complex joint with a wide range of motion, making it prone to injuries. Some of the most frequent issues include:
- Rotator Cuff Tears – Damage to the tendons stabilizing the shoulder, often due to repetitive overhead motions.
- Shoulder Dislocations – When the humerus pops out of the socket, common in contact sports.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – Stiffness and pain caused by thickened shoulder capsule tissue.
- Labral Tears – Injury to the cartilage ring (labrum) surrounding the shoulder socket.
- Arthritis – Degenerative joint wear leading to chronic pain and stiffness.
When Is Shoulder Surgery Necessary?
While many shoulder injuries respond well to conservative treatments (physical therapy, medications, injections), surgery may be required if:
- Non-surgical treatments fail after several months.
- A complete tendon or ligament tear limits function.
- Severe arthritis causes debilitating pain.
- Recurrent dislocations make the joint unstable.
Types of Shoulder Surgery
- Arthroscopic Surgery – Minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera to repair tears or remove damaged tissue.
- Rotator Cuff Repair – Reattaching torn tendons to the bone.
- Shoulder Replacement – For advanced arthritis, replacing damaged joint surfaces with prosthetics.
- Labral Repair – Fixing torn cartilage to restore stability
