The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. Ultrasound represents a valuable imaging modality to obtain a comprehensive depiction of the main anatomical structure of the shoulder, including joint recesses, bursae, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Furthermore, it allows dynamic ...
Shoulder and neck pain is a common and even cleaning windows or reaching for a jar can strain and injure shoulder muscles and tendons, especially in people who are out of condition. Other possible causes for your discomfort are: unnatural sleeping positions, tension and stress, osteoarthritis, in...
Your shoulder has three bones: the top of your upper arm (the humerus bone) fits into a hole called a socket in your shoulder blade (the scapula bone), and the clavicle (collarbone), which is a strut that supports the shoulder. A combination of muscles and tendons called the rotator cuf...
d. Greater tuberosity: attachment for rotator cuff muscles and tendons; supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minore. Lesser tuberosity: attachment of subscapularisf. Bicipital groove: transverse humeral ligament restrains biceps long head tendon
The shoulder is a complex combination of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. Three bones meet at the shoulder to create a 90-degree angle: the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade), and humerus (upper arm bone). These three bones meet the sternum (breastbone) to ...
Your shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, allowing you to place and rotate your arm in many positions in front, above, to the side and behind your body. Often, shoulder problems involve the ligaments, muscles and tendons rather than the bones. Many shoulder problems are the re...
The part of an animal’s body between the base of the neck and forearm socket. The part of the human torso forming a relatively horizontal surface running away from the neck. The joint between the arm and the torso, sometimes including the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. ...
Shoulder symptoms in overhead athletes are related mainly to failure of the kinetic chain. Once the kinetic chain fails, shoulder biomechanics may change, resulting in overstress of specific soft tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and muscles, or at the joint surface. ...
The shoulder consists of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that connect the arm to the torso. The shoulder joint has three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula) and the upper arm bone (humerus). ...
The muscles and tendons that connect your upper arm bone to your shoulder blade form the rotator cuff in your shoulder. If your rotator cuff tendon becomes trapped under the top bone of the shoulder, it can become inflamed and/or thicken, causing pain. Shoulder tendonitis is most comm...
