🔴 MOST COMMON SHOULDER CONDITIONS

Shoulder problems are not just due to injury and overuse. Chronic inflammation or lifestyle can all contribute to the symptoms associated with shoulder problems.

⚠️ Chronic shoulder conditions, if they are not treated properly, can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks.

Some of the common shoulder conditions are:

1️⃣ Osteoarthritis - When the bones rub together causing significant pain and swelling.

2️⃣ Rotator Cuff Disease - Caused by progressive wear and tear of the tendon tissue over time. Repetitive overhead activity or prolonged bouts of heavy lifting can irritate or damage the tendon.

3️⃣ Instability - Can happen as a result of a sudden injury, from overuse or from repetitive motions and that can lead to repeated shoulder dislocations.

4️⃣ Adhesive capsulitis (also known as frozen shoulder) - Is an inflammatory condition characterized by shoulder stiffness, pain, and significant loss of passive range of motion.

5️⃣ Tendonitis - is an inflammation of your rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon.
Bursitis - occurs when fluid builds up in bursae that cushion the space between bones and tissue.

🤔 WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A SPECIALIST?

For shoulder joint pain:

🔻 There is sudden pain in your shoulder
🔻 You notice shoulder deformity
🔻 You can’t lift your arm away from your body
🔻 You have intense swelling
🔻 You felt a pop after a fall or injury

🤝 6 TIPS - HEALTHY KNEES

👉 A healthy knee joint is one that can move smoothly and painlessly through its normal range of motion. Some tips to keep your knees and other joints healthy are:

✅ Keep moving
Regular physical activity helps maintain joint function, including strength and range of motion in the knees.

✅ Strengthen the muscles that support your knees
Strong muscles can absorb some of the pressure placed on the knee joint and prevent injuries.

✅ Perfect your posture
Poor posture can cause misalignment of your knees and hips, leading to pain and inflammation.

✅ Choose the right shoes
Shoes that fit well and provide adequate cushioning and support can reduce the impact on your knees when walking or running.

✅ Maintain a healthy body
Excess pounds puts more stress on your knees and can increase the risk of arthritis.

✅ Listen to your knee pain
If you experience any pain, swelling, stiffness, or clicking in your knees, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

🤓 In a reverse or inverted shoulder replacement, the humerus is excavated to accommodate and articulate with the scapular component, in this case hemispherical, the reverse of the natural arrangement of the joint.

☝The reverse replacement allows the use of the deltoid muscle to strengthen the joint, adding stability and improving functional results.

👍This is very useful in patients who have damaged rotator cuffs and shoulder tendons.

😕 Some of these patients may have a serious functional disorder called "pseudoparalytic shoulder," in which they can barely move their arm.

👍 The decision for surgical treatment is based on the number of fragments involved, displacement and angulation of the fragments, patient's age, bone quality, and associated diseases.

👏 The goal will always be to recover the patient's function as close to normal as possible.

📌 Brachial Plexus Injury

🤓 The brachial plexus is a network of intertwined nerves that control movement and sensation in the arm and hand.

🔴 A traumatic brachial plexus injury involves sudden damage to these nerves, and may cause weakness, loss of feeling, or loss of movement in the shoulder, arm, or hand.

The brachial plexus begins at the neck and crosses the upper chest to the armpit. Injury to this network of nerves often occurs when the arm is forcibly pulled or stretched.

✅ Mild brachial plexus injuries may heal without treatment. More severe injuries may require surgery to regain function of the arm or hand.

👉 Surgical treatment is typically recommended when the nerves fail to recover on their own or fail to recover enough to restore necessary function to the arm and hand.

🤓 The menisci perform many essential biomechanical functions. These functions include

🔘 Load transmission
🔘 Shock absorption
🔘 Stability
🔘 Nutrition & joint lubrication
🔘 Proprioception

👉 They also serve to decrease contact stress and increase contact area and joint congruency.

⚠️ The knee would be deprived of all these functions if the meniscus removed.

💥 Therefore, in the knees without the meniscus, the impact and load are three times higher.

✅ it's always a better option to fix the meniscus if possible.
