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.
According to research presented here, Bankart repair following initial shoulder dislocation leads to improved patient outcomes.
A retrospective chart review was conducted to determine patient demographics and quantity of reported preoperative dislocations, and to review imaging and the quantity of anchors placed. Patients were deemed recurrent dislocators if they had more than one dislocation prior to surgery, and postoperative instability was classified as a subluxation or dislocation postoperatively reported by the patient. Patients also completed a survey to identify Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score, return to sport, postoperative instability and whether any further surgical intervention was required.

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).
