Tendon calcification (shoulder)
Tendon calcification is the deposition of calcium crystals (calcification) in one of the tendons of the rotator cuff located around the head of the shoulder. Impaired blood flow causes the cells to be improperly urged to form calcium.
condition
Biceps tendinopathy
Biceps tendinopathy is an inflammation of the long biceps tendon, the tendon that connects the biceps muscle upward to the shoulder joint. It usually results from overuse where irritation and wear and tear processes occur. In the process, the damaged tissue in the tendon is unable to repair in time, leading to chronic inflammation.
condition
Bursitis (shoulder)
Bursitis is a disruption of the movement pattern of the shoulder girdle. Overuse during prolonged activities reduces the space between the tendon (rotator cuff) and the shoulder roof (acromion).
condition
Shoulder osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis deforms the shoulder joint, eventually causing pain, restriction of movement and a feeling of blocking. The pain is often continuous and increases after load and with changes in weather.
condition
Shoulder injuries (orthopaedics)
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in our body and allows us to move and rotate our arms in many directions. An interplay of bones, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and an elastic joint capsule guarantees both mobility and the necessary stability.
condition
AC dislocation
The AC joint is the joint between the acromion (part of the shoulder roof) and the clavicle (collarbone). An AC dislocation usually results from direct trauma to the shoulder.
