How to “Unfreeze” a Frozen Shoulder
While treatment can fast-track healing, frozen shoulder usually goes away with time—within two to four years—and sometimes pain can decrease in just a couple of days.
Patients with irreparable, posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears experienced pain relief, functional recovery and postoperative satisfaction after undergoing an arthroscopic-assisted latissimus dorsi tendon transfer, according to results.
Using the Constant and Murley score, researchers assessed preoperative and postoperative function in 86 patients who underwent an arthroscopic-assisted latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable, posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears.

The sternoclavicular joint, or SC joint, is the connection of the sternum (breastbone) to the clavicle (collarbone). This SC joint is uncommonly injured, but it can be problematic when an injury is sustained.
Reverse shoulder replacement was developed because traditional surgical options for shoulder arthritis, such as total shoulder replacements, aren’t a suitable option when patients also have a rotator cuff tear.
The goal of all surgical treatments for a shoulder separation is to restore the normal alignment of the end of the collarbone with the outer edge of the shoulder blade (the acromion)
Shoulder exercises can be useful in the treatment of many of the common causes of shoulder pain. These exercises are also part of the usual rehabilitation from most any shoulder surgery.
A shoulder separation sounds like an odd injury, but in reality, it refers to the stretching or tearing of ligaments where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula).
