ganglion cysts commonly occur around the shoulder, mostly in the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches. we report a very rare case of intra articular ganglion cyst of the long head of the biceps tendon that originated from the bicipital groove as a rare cause of shoulder pain.

The prevalence of shoulder complaints in the UK is estimated to be 14%, with 1% to 2% of adults over the age of 45 years consulting their general practitioner annually regarding new-onset shoulder pain. Shoulder osteoarthritis is the underlying cause of shoulder pain in 2% to 5% of this group, although few truly population-based studies have been conducted. Painful shoulders pose a substantial ...

BACKGROUND The purposes of this study were to identify changes in tear dimensions, shoulder function, and glenohumeral kinematics when an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear becomes painful and to identify characteristics of individuals who develop pain compared with those who remain asymptomatic. METHODS A cohort of 195 subjects with an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear was prospectively monitored f...

QUESTION Does a postoperative physiotherapy exercise program incorporating shoulder exercises improve shoulder function, pain, range of motion, muscle strength, and health-related quality of life in patients undergoing elective pulmonary resection via open thoracotomy? DESIGN Randomised trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding, and intention-to-treat analysis. PARTICIPANTS 76 pati...

STUDY DESIGN Case report. BACKGROUND Based on our assumption that subtle deviations in the precision of shoulder movement cause tissue injury, we have developed a set of movement-related diagnoses for shoulder problems. The purposes of this case report are to (1) illustrate the use of a movement system impairment (MSI) diagnosis in a patient with shoulder pain, (2) illustrate how the MSI diag...

Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. Platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. To date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. A 45-year-old man with should...
