Shoulder pain has many different causes and treatments. It isn't easy to know the difference between different types of shoulder pain, like a frozen shoulder, shoulder blade pain, or symptoms of a rotator cuff tear. This is why you need to get medical attention if you have shoulder pain—and the treatment is tailored to the cause, your overall health, and your level of activity.
Internal shoulder impingement is a condition that primarily affects throwing athletes.
Rotator cuff tears are a common injury of the complex shoulder joint. The shoulder is one of the most amazing joints in the body. The range of motion of your shoulder—the amount of movement at the joint—is greater than in any other joint in the body.
The system, which is designed for patients with destabilized radial head fractures, includes side loading spacers and single-use instrument kits to save time in the OR, improve efficiency and reduce costs, according to the release. It is reportedly the first system to use radiolucent trials that allow for better visualization of the elbow joint during trials and more accurate implant sizing during surgery.
This study adds to the body of evidence on the use of TXA in orthopaedic surgery, with the results indicating that it is a safe and effective treatment to help reduce blood loss when operating on proximal humeral fractures.
