Best Hospital for Shoulder Treatment - Dr Darsh Goyal

The shoulder has a wide and versatile range of motion. When something goes wrong with your shoulder, it hampers your ability to move freely and can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort.

The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint that has three main bones: the humerus (long arm bone), the clavicle (collarbone), and the scapula (also known as the shoulder blade).

These bones are cushioned by a layer of cartilage. There are two main joints. The acromioclavicular joint is between the highest part of the scapula and the clavicle.

What causes shoulder pain?

Several factors and conditions can contribute to shoulder pain. The most prevalent cause is rotator cuff tendinitis.

This is a condition characterized by swollen tendons. Another common cause of shoulder pain is impingement syndrome where the rotator cuff gets caught between the acromium (part of the scapula that covers the ball) and humeral head (the ball portion of the humerus).

Shoulder replacement surgery may be recommended for any of the following reasons:

Osteoarthritis – It is a degenerative joint disease marked by immense pain and stiffness caused by the gradual degeneration of the articular cartilage.

Inflammatory arthritis – It is an umbrella term used for a group of conditions that lead to the chronic inflammation of the shoulder joint.

Proximal humerus fracture – It is one of the most common fractures seen in elderlies and is marked by a crack in the upper part of the humerus.

Irreparable rotator cuff tears – It is a very common condition marked by the tearing of the tendons, accompanied by chronic pain, shoulder weakness and inability to raise the arm.
