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.
Recently published results showed no significant differences in clinical scores between patients with intact rotator cuff repairs or partial-thickness retears as stratified by the Sugaya MRI classification system at 16 weeks, according to results.
At 16 weeks after arthroscopic supraspinatus repair, researchers evaluated 60 patients using the Oxford Shoulder Score, 11-item version of DASH score, VAS for pain, SF-12 health survey, isokinetic strength and MRI. Patients were classified with the Sugaya MRI rotator cuff classification system as having intact repairs (Sugaya grade 1) and partial-thickness retears (Sugaya grades 2 and 3).

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).
