Clinical Challenges in Managing Shoulder Osteoarthritis and Suprascapular Neuropathy
Chronic shoulder pain is a common and multifactorial condition. Suprascapular nerve neuropathy, although relatively uncommon, may lead to pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy as a result of extrinsic compression, trauma, or inflammation. When it occurs in the presence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis, overall shoulder function may be further compromised, complicating both diagnostic assessment and therapeutic decisionmaking.

Ultrasound-Guided Exercise Therapy Targeting the Supinator and Its Radial Nerve Branch for Refractory Lateral Elbow Pain: A Case Series
Lateral epicondylitis is commonly attributed to tendinopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB). Although eccentric exercises, prolotherapy, and percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) are frequently used, a subset of patients experience persistent pain. The potential contributions of the supinator muscle and its radial nerve branch to rehabilitation have not been adequately explored.
Shoulder Impingement Pain Syndrome: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and a Review of Current Treatment Strategies
The shoulder is an intricate joint, capable of a wide range of movements for both daily activities and physical exercise. This intricate joint is susceptible to various injuries and conditions due to its design. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), also clinically recognized as subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), is a prevalent source of shoulder discomfort, which is a spectrum of disorders such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial or complete tears, and inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
What to know about deltoid pain
The deltoid is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion. Pain in this area may be due to issues like overuse or injury.
Increased head, shoulder injuries in ice hockey may signal need for safer equipment
“There is the consideration of how kids get their equipment, the quality of their equipment and the fit of their equipment. In a sport like hockey where there is high velocity and high impact, making sure that you have well-fitting helmets and pads is important,” Sheena C. Ranade, MD, associate professor of pediatric orthopedic surgery in the Leni and Peter W. May department of orthopedic surgery and director of the comprehensive neuromuscular care clinic at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, told Healio. “Making sure that protective gear is keeping up with their growth is important as well because they grow rapidly in adolescence.”
X-ray analytics in motion: Dynamic 3D diagnosis for unstable shoulders
After a shoulder injury has been treated, patients are often left with a feeling of insecurity — many of them report that their shoulder "doesn't hold" or "slips out easily." When diagnosing shoulder instabilities, doctors often have to rely on these subjective assessments. The reason: Conventional imaging methods do not capture the movement of the shoulder.
Understanding the Key Differences Between Abduction and Adduction
Abduction and adduction are shoulder and hip movements that occur in the body's frontal plane—an imaginary line that divides the body into front and back halves. They're essential for stability and injury prevention in your shoulders, pelvis, and lower back.
