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.
Rather than surgical factors, data presented here indicate patient preoperative condition is the most important factor in return to baseline function in the short-term period following anterior shoulder instability.
Of the 278 patients who had complete preoperative and postoperative ROM and strength data available, 138 (50%) returned to baseline while 133 (50%) did not. Age, Beighton score, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) score, SF-36 general health scores and duration of symptoms were identified by univariate analysis as significant factors for anterior shoulder instability. Of these, a multivariate model showed significant differences in age, SF-36 general health scores and Beighton score.

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).
