Shoulder blade pain is usually caused by a muscle strain or a bone condition like osteoarthritis. It's not typically serious, but in rare instances, shoulder blade pain may be a sign of a severe condition, like a heart attack or cancer.

A rotator cuff tear is marked by damage to one (or more) of the four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Warning signs of a torn rotator cuff are typically felt in the shoulder area. Both partial rotator cuff tears and complete, full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) can make arm movement...

A partial rotator cuff tear, also known as partial thickness rotator cuff tear, is a type of shoulder injury that affects the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. As opposed to a full-thickness tear where the entire tendon is severed, only a portion of the tendon is torn.

Shoulder pain is a common side effect of a vaccine. Usually, it gets better fairly quickly and causes no long-term problems. However, some people develop a rare problem called shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).

A rotator cuff tear is marked by damage to one (or more) of the four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Warning signs of a torn rotator cuff are typically felt in the shoulder area.

Published results showed total hip arthroplasty performed with robotic-assistance software that incorporates pelvic tilt and virtual range of motion may change the preoperative plan for cup position and deviate from traditional safe zones.

Data presented at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons Annual Meeting showed proximal femoral replacement may be a reasonable salvage option in complex revision total hip arthroplasty cases.

According to published results, the use of gabapentinoids may be associated with an increased risk of hip fractures in older, frail patients and patients with chronic kidney disease.

Intertrochanteric fractures with a wide medullary canal may lead to nail toggle without intact lateral wall and compression screw engagement.

Hip implants with a delta ceramic or oxidized zirconium head and highly crosslinked polyethylene liner or cup had the lowest risk of revision during the 15 years after surgery, a new study led by the University of Bristol has found. The research could help hospitals, surgeons and patients to choose ...
