The shoulder joint has some specific properties in the human body. It has adjusted to the mechanical demands of a vertical body position more than any other joint. The shoulder has the largest motion range of all joints in the human body. In addition to the shoulder is exposed cosmetically, particularly in women. Extensive surgical exposures of the shoulder joint were commonly used when shoulde...

Post injection fibrosis leading to muscle contracture is a known complication. Deltoid fibrosis is known to occur following trauma or an intramuscular injection. Idiopathic Deltoid fibrosis leading to abduction contracture and anterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare entity. Prompt diagnosis and surgery by distal release of fibrosed Deltoid muscle will lead to good functional recovery.

Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint is a common disorder characterized by gradual increase pain and limitation in range motion joint. The pathophysiological process involves fibrous inflammation capsule leading to capsular thickening contracture. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection commonly performed patients with adhesive capsulitis. However, there no consensus as best site. Cortico...

INTRODUCTION What is the rate of injecting patients with shoulder corticosteroid injections to alleviate excessive stiffness and pain within 6 months after shoulder surgery? METHODS Retrospective 10-year review of a shoulder surgeon's practice. Participants included 754 patients who had 945 non-arthroplasty shoulder surgeries. Outcome measures included the rate of injections, diagnoses, patie...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to anatomically confirm that anterior shoulder injection could result in penetration of the anterior stabilizing structures of the glenohumeral joint and to advocate the use of a tailored approach to MR arthrography based on presenting symptoms. CONCLUSION A tailored approach to MR arthrography may be a useful way to isolate expected pathology in the sh...

BACKGROUND Degenerative changes and inflammation in the rotator cuff (RC) are the most important causes of shoulder pain. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in patients with chronic RC tendinopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was an open-label study performed at Kashani Hospital between April 2012 and June 2014. Patients with a ...

Cost effective treatment is needed for common self limiting rheumatological conditions. Periarthritis of the shoulder is an example. There is no consensus for one type of treatment, though local steroids or physiotherapy are conventionally used. Their cost and efficacy were compared in a prospective randomised observer-blind trial--in essence a medical audit of the treatment of a common rheumat...

INTRODUCTION Bilateral shoulder dislocation are most commonly posterior type. These are most commonly due to seizure disorder and electrocution. Anterior shoulder dislocations occurring bilaterally without any predisposing factors are very rare. These types of injuries are due to trauma with a unique mechanism of injury. To best of our knowledge there are only few cases of similar kind are repo...
