Types of Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries can vary. Here are some of the most common types of shoulder injury:

• Dislocation: A shoulder dislocation usually occurs when the ligaments holding the shoulder bones together tear, which means that the shoulder joint can no longer hold itself in place. Dislocations may happen as a result of falling onto an outstretched hand or a violent, twisting motion.
• Rotator Cuff Tear: The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that allows you to raise and rotate your arm. These muscles are attached to your bones by tendons. If these tendons tear, it becomes difficult to move your arm. Although rotator cuff tears happen naturally with age, they may also be caused by falls. Trying to lift a heavy object can also cause a rotator cuff tear.
• Labral Tear: The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage that keeps the rim of the shoulder socket in place. While labral tears may occur as the result of aging, they may also be caused by accidents. Labral tears are common in car accidents. After suffering this injury, you may have limited range of motion in your arm. You may also feel a sense of stiffness and weakness.
• Fractures: Severe accidents can also cause fractures in your shoulder bones. Shoulder fractures can be quite serious, and they may require months of rest and rehabilitation. Because of the nature of shoulder fractures, it may be difficult to get a plaster cast or a splint. An arm sling and plenty of rest may be the only option.
• Impingement: Although shoulder impingement is considered a relatively minor injury, it can occur due to injury. Impingement can reduce mobility in your arm significantly, causing you to miss a lot of work. The culprit is your rotator cuff, and certain injuries can cause it to rub against the tendons in an uncomfortable manner.

Although healing is important, holding negligent individuals accountable is also crucial.
