Proximal humerus fracture. A proximal humerus fracture is a break of the upper part of the bone of the arm ( humerus ). [ 3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the shoulder. [ 1] Complications may include axillary nerve or axillary artery injury. [ 3]
Shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis ( inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [ 1] This can result in pain, weakness ...

LOINC. 36886-0. Orbital x-ray or orbital radiography is an x-ray of both left and right eye sockets, to include the Frontal Sinuses and Maxillary ...
Cross-section of shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the scapula and the humerus. The socket of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is itself quite shallow, but it is made deeper by the addition of the glenoid labrum. The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilaginous fibre attached to the circumference of the cavity.
The lateral contour of the shoulder should be positioned in front of the film in a way that the longitudinal axis of the scapula continues parallel to the path of the rays. This method reveals: [24] The horizontal centralization of the humerus head and socket; The osseous margins of the coraco-acromial arch and hence the supraspinatus outlet canal
Thoracic outlet syndrome ( TOS) is a condition in which there is compression of the nerves, arteries, or veins in the superior thoracic aperture, the passageway from the lower neck to the armpit, also known as the thoracic outlet. [ 1] There are three main types: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. [ 1] The neurogenic type is the most common and ...
A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder. [ 3] It is an injury of the anterior ( inferior) glenoid labrum of the shoulder. [ 4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it.
Shoulder problems including pain, are one of the more common reasons for physician visits for musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in ...
