Shoulder Tendenitis

They are inflammations that occur in the shoulder rotating cuff muscles and the biceps tendon muscle that joins the shoulder joint. Painful and movement-limiting shoulder tendinitis usually occurs after strenuous activities, falls or long-term chronic trauma. Calcific tendonitis, which occurs as a result of the accumulation of calcium crystals in the shoulder tendons without any reason, can be evaluated in this context.

BURSA INFLAMMATION OF INTERNAL SHOULDER

It is the inflammation of the intra-articular sac called bursa. Inflammations of the bursa, which causes pain and limitation of movement, are generally seen after compression due to the beak-shaped shape of the shoulder roof bone (acromion bone), and after activities performed above the shoulder level, sports activities and falls.

INTRA-SHOULDER MUSCLE TEARS

These are tears at the attachment points of the cuff muscles, which lift the shoulder up from inside the shoulder joint and rotate it internally and externally, and the biceps muscle (biceps tendon), which joins the shoulder from the outside, to the shoulder joint. Sudden contractions after a fall may develop due to direct trauma and chronic trauma.

SHOULDER JOINT DISPLACEMENT

It is a forward or backward dislocation of the shoulder joint after a fall or trauma and is very painful. Muscle and cartilage tears may occur after dislocation. Recurrent dislocations may require the patient to undergo surgery.

SHOULDER BONE FRACTURES

Shoulder bone fractures are post-traumatic, arm bone (humerus bone), intra-articular fractures, shoulder roof bone fracture, fractures of the collarbone (clavicle bone) and shoulder blade (scapula bone) that join the shoulder joint. While it may heal with an arm sling and bandages, the patient may require surgery.

FROZEN SHOULDER

It is a condition in which the joint capsule, which contributes to the stability of the shoulder joint, narrows and restricts shoulder movements. It may not have any cause, but sometimes it may occur together with diabetes. It can last 12-18 months, is painful and causes movement restrictions. Generally, it starts with pain and then movement limitation is added. Treatment timing is very important. The patient's complaints may increase in early physical therapy.

SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY

It is the first method preferred in the treatment of cartilage tears caused by persistent shoulder pain, muscle tears, bursa inflammations and shoulder joint dislocations. With the help of optical devices containing special lens mechanisms, the intra-articular image is transferred to the screen. In this way, the shoulder joint can be examined fully. Shoulder arthroscopy is diagnostic and causes less surgical damage and pain. In addition to having a similar success rate to open surgery, post-operative rehabilitation is much easier than open surgery. It allows you to return to your daily life, work and sports life early.
The patient who underwent shoulder arthroscopy usually stays in the hospital for 1 night after the surgery. The physical therapy process begins 7-10 days after the patient is discharged and continues for approximately 6-8 weeks. The aim of the recovery process is to ensure full arm range of the patient and preserve muscle strength. An arm sling is used for 4-6 weeks after treatment. You can return to sports life 3 months after the operation, but for sports that require shoulder activity, this period does not start before 6 months.
