Indications and Clinical Considerations The musculotendinous unit of the shoulder joint is susceptible to developing tendinitis for several reasons. First, the joint is subjected to a wide range of motions that are often repetitive. Second, the space in which the…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The teres major muscle is susceptible to developing myofascial pain syndrome. Prolonged lifting of heavy objects held in front of the body or repetitive activities that require medial rotation of the humerus, such as using a…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The pectoralis major muscle is susceptible to trauma ranging from microscopic tears of the muscle substance caused by heavy exertion to macroscopic partial tearing of the muscle or, in extreme cases, full-thickness tearing with associated hematoma…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The pectoralis major muscle is susceptible to developing myofascial pain syndrome. Prolonged lifting of heavy objects held in front of the body or sustained lifting with the arms held in a fixed position, as in the…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The deltoid muscle is susceptible to developing myofascial pain syndrome. Prolonged lifting or repetitive tasks involving moving the shoulder and arm forward and backward may cause repeated microtrauma to the deltoid muscle and may result in…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The musculotendinous unit of the shoulder joint is susceptible to developing tendinitis for several reasons. First, the joint is subjected to a wide range of motions that are often repetitive. Second, the space in which the…

Indications and Clinical Considerations The musculotendinous unit of the shoulder joint is susceptible to developing tendinitis for several reasons. First, the joint is subjected to a wide range of motions that are often repetitive. Second, the space in which the…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The acromioclavicular joint is vulnerable to injury from both acute trauma and repetitive microtrauma. Acute injuries frequently take the form of falls directly onto the shoulder when playing sports or falling from a bicycle, for example.…
Indications and Clinical Considerations The transcoracoacromial approach to intra-articular injection of the glenohumeral joint is useful in patients with conditions that would preclude an anterior or posterior approach (e.g., tumor, localized infection, scapular fractures, other anatomic abnormalities, when radiographic guidance…
