Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Joint is one of the most complex joint in the human body. The pain in the shoulder joint could be due to a minor muscle injury to due to a more dangerous ligament tear. If you have pain in the shoulder joint which is restricting full movement of the shoulder joint then immediately consult an orthopedic specialist who is trained in treating the problems of the shoulder joint.

Common causes of pain in the shoulder joint are :

Frozen Shoulder

Rotator Cuff Injury

Bankart Injury

The Shoulder Joint is a ball and socket joint. The head of the arm bone goes into a hollow socket which is attached to the shoulder bone. The movement of the ball within the shoulder socket provides the range of movement to the arm. Shoulder Joint has the maximum mobility of all the joints in the body. Due to this mobility the shoulder joint is most prone to be dislocated. Shoulder Dislocation happens when the ball pops out of the socket. In such cases the cartilage called labrum gets injured which is known as Bankart Tear.

Shoulder Dislocation causes severe pain and unsteadiness in the shoulder. It is sometimes clearly visible to the naked eye in the form of deformity. Other symptoms of shoulder dislocation could be swelling, weakness, numbness and bruising. You must immediately consult a shoulder specialist who would do a thorough physical examination and may follow it up with diagnostic tests like X-Ray, MRI and Electromyography.

Shoulder Dislocation Treatment

Shoulder Dislocation can be treated at Anand Hospital, Purnia, Bihar easily by manipulating the shoulder joint and putting it back into the socket. This procedure is called Closed Reduction. One must not risk the shoulder joint by going to a `Pehalwan' who do not understand the anatomy of the shoulder joint and can cause long term damage to the joint. Once the shoulder is in place the pain would subside. The arm would be immobilized in a sling for several weeks to let the shoulder heal.

In case the shoulder dislocation is accompanied with Bankart Lesion Tear then Arthroscopic Surgery is done by Dr K S Anand at Anand Hospital in Purnia, Bihar to re-attach the torn Labrum to the socket. This is a minimally invasive procedure in which only small incisions are given and the surgery is done using by magnifying the joint on a large TV screen. The arm would be immobilized for 4 weeks after the surgery. Physical therapy would start after one week of the surgery and would continue for 4 months to strengthen the shoulder muscles which will prevent any recurrence of the injury.
