Shoulder Sports Injury Treatment In Dubai

Common Types of Shoulder Sports Injury

Shoulder injuries are not uncommon for overhead sports, but all shoulder injuries are not similar. You must know different shoulder injuries if you need shoulder sports injury treatment in Dubai by dr. Vikram Sharma. It will help you identify the best treatment for your injury. Here we will discuss some common shoulder injuries in detail. 

Dislocation – Shoulder dislocation is prevalent in sports such as badminton, hockey, and basketball. In shoulder dislocation, the upper part of the arm pops out of its socket. It can happen due to forceful backward pulling of your shoulder or arm, fast and wrong shoulder rotation.

Fracture – Another shoulder injury prevalent in sports is fracture. Most shoulder sports injuries are of this type. In fractures, the shoulder bones or blades get cracked or broken due to a fall or a hard hit. Clavicle fractures and humerus fractures are frequent among sports persons. 

Rotator cuff tear – Rotator cuffs are a group of tendons and muscles located in the shoulder. It helps to hold the arm in its place and supports the overhead movement of the arm. You can tear your rotator cuff due to overuse, fall, or wrong rotation.

Bursitis -  Bursitis is also a common shoulder sports injury that occurs when the Bursa, a fluid-filled sac around your shoulder joint ( that protects the shoulder) gets irritated and swollen. The repetitive motion of the shoulder or other shoulder injury causes Bursitis. 

Impingement – Impingement happens when the rotator cuff and tendons get inserted into the bone due to a wrong shoulder or arm movement. It can cause swelling, pain, and sometimes difficulty in moving the shoulder. 

Cartilage tear – Like the knee, our shoulder also has a Cartilage ligament. It is a rubber-like pad that surrounds the edge of the shoulder joint. The cartilage can get torn due to a fall, hit, strong force absorption, or extensive repetition of the same motion on the shoulder. 

Frozen shoulder – Frozen shoulder happens due to underuse, overuse, or surgery that helps build up adhesion (band of tissues) on the shoulder joints. In shoulder freeze, you can feel numbness, immobility, or inability to move your shoulder freely (locking issues).

Shoulder separation – Shoulder separation happens when the Acromioclavicular joint that connects the shoulder blades to the collarbone gets totally ruptured. A hard fall or hit can cause AC ligament tear and results in the separation of the collarbone and shoulder blades.
