Condition
01.
Shoulder Dislocation
Dislocation of the shoulder usually almost always recurs. Each episode of dislocation brings with it additional damage to the cartilage of the socket (Glenoid) and the ball (head of the humerus). This damage is not reversible.
02.
Frozen Shoulder
Firstly, “frozen Shoulder” itself is a misnomer. It means nothing more than a stiff shoulder. There are numerous reasons for a stiff shoulder. These could be largely degenerative – due to the Rotator cuff muscles become weak and inflammed, a tear of the ligaments.
03.
Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff muscle is a prime muscle in stabilizing the shoulder joint & allows us to lift the arm above the head. Due to wear & tear over time it is common in patients above age of 50 years to develop a rotator cuff tear.
04.
SLAP
SLAP tear is an acronym for Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior tear. These are seen classically in athlete’s involved in throwing injuries. In the routine non athlete we see these tears when there has been a jerk to the shoulder like falling from height, jerk from a dog leash .
05.
AC joint Dislocation
Reconstruction of the Dislocated AC joint has been a condition which used to defy several techniques. The mst reliable & modern technique is to reconstruct the torn AC ligamnent. This makes lot of sense as merely placing wires or screws across the joints.
06.
ACL Tear
An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) — one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction.
07.
Meniscus Tear
When you hear about a meniscus tear, think about a piece of rubber that acts like a cushion in your knee joint. It’s kind of like a tiny, tough, rubbery pad that sits between the bones in your knee, helping them move smoothly and absorbing shocks.
08.
Cartilage Degeneration
Cartilage degeneration is a process where the protective cartilage tissue in your joints breaks down over time. To explain it in simpler terms, think of cartilage as a cushion between the bones in your joints, like the padding in a pair of shoes
