    Shoulder
    Rotator Cuff full article
    THE INJURY The subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor are small muscles situated close to the glenohumeral joint (ball-and-socket joint) of the shoulder. Collectively, these four muscles are known as the rotator cuff. Although they have individual actions, their main role is to work together to stabilise the humeral head (ball) in the glenoid (socket). People are often told that they have injured one particular member of the rotator cuff, with the most common diagnosis being supraspinatus tendinitis. However, it is unlikely that the problem is with just one of the muscles in isolation. The world's top shoulder surgeons refer to such conditions as a 'rotator cuff injury'and consider the picture as a whole. Although the rotator cuff can be injured by a single traumatic incident, this is not common. Injury to the rotator cuff will usually begin as inflammation (tendinitis) caused by some form of microtrauma (a small but continuous source of irritation). If the cause of the inflammation is not addressed, and continues over a long period of time, partial tears may develop in the cuff that could eventually become complete tears (a tear all the way through one or more of the rotator cuff muscles).

    What is rotator cuff injury? The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendonsthat hold the shoulder in place. How is a rotator cuff injury diagnosed?
    http://uuhsc.utah.edu/healthinfo/adult/spine/rotator.htm
    Rotator Cuff Injury What is painful arc syndrome? Painful arc syndrome is a condition characterized by pain when a person lifts his/her arm between 45 and 160 degrees from the side of the body. The condition is caused by tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder.
    What is rotator cuff injury?
    The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place. It is one of the most important parts of the shoulder. The rotator cuff allows a person to lift his/her arms and reach up. An injury to the rotator cuff, such as a tear, may happen suddenly when falling on an outstretched hand or develop over time due to repetitive activities. Rotator cuff tears are also due to aging.
    What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?
    The following are the most common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
    • recurrent pain, especially with certain activities pain that prevents sleeping on the injured side grating or cracking sounds when moving the arm limited ability to move arm muscle weakness
    The symptoms of a rotator cuff tear may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.

    ... health tests 3 June 2004 health information health living lifestyle exercise Rotator cuff injury The rotator cuff muscles control rotation of the shoulder. These muscles are put under a great deal of strain, especially in throwing events and racket sports where your arm is above your head a lot. Repetitive strain on the rotator cuff can lead to acute or chronic inflammation (tendinitis) in the area. And such repetitive use can lead to microtears to the muscles in the cuff which, over time and more repetitions, can progress to a full-thickness tear. A violent injury - for example during a rugby tackle - can also tear the cuff. What are the symptoms?
    • Pain when you bend the arm and rotate it outwards against resistance Pain on the outside of the shoulder, which might also travel down the arm Night pain in the case of severe inflammation and tears Stiffness in the shoulder joint Pain worsened by overhead activity.

    About Us Contact Us Site Map Go ... Health Topic Library Rotator Cuff Injury
    The rotator cuff is the name given to four of the muscles and tendons of the shoulder. These muscles help stabilize our shoulders and give them strength. One of the actions the muscles do together is rotate the shoulder. That is where the name "rotator cuff" comes from. The muscle becomes very thin before it attaches to the bone it moves. This skinny part of the muscle is called a tendon. Any one or all of the tendons of the cuff muscles could develop tendonitis from overuse or improper use of the arm. Tendonitis of the rotator cuff is probably the most common reason for shoulder pain. Other symptoms of a rotator cuff injury are:
    * limited motion,
    * redness, warmth or swelling, and
    * weakness. Throwing sports, swimming or work that keeps the arms overhead put people at risk for rotator cuff tendonitis. Prevention is the key to avoiding tendonitis. Remember to:
    * stay in shape

    $750,000.00 for Sheet Metal Worker with Rotator Cuff Injury
    May 21, 2003
    Henry DeSandre, a member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 65, was working as a Sheet Metal Worker for Prairie Material when he tripped over a piece of conduit that was sticking out of the ground at a construction project in Glenview. DeSandre had been carrying an armload of materials at the time of the January 20, 2002, accident and didn't see the conduit that was sticking up about 1-3 inches. DeSandre, through his lawyers, Horwitz, Horwitz and Associates, filed a lawsuit against Robinette Demolition and the general contractor, JC Anderson. Attorney Clifford Horwitz claimed that Robinette, after it completed its demolition left the conduit sticking out of the floor and that the general contractor failed to provide a safe place to work in violation of construction customs and practices and OSHA and ANSI standards. The case was filed based on principles of negligence. DeSandre suffered a torn rotator cuff, which is the muscle system that controls shoulder strength and movement. He had to undergo two surgeries in order to repair the rotator cuff and has had a good recovery but has trouble doing heavy work overhead.

    Rotator Cuff Arthroscopy
    What is arthroscopy?
    Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, "arthro" (joint) and "skopein" (to look). The term literally means "to look within the joint." In an arthroscopic examination, an orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's skin and then inserts pencil-sized instruments that contain a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. Light is transmitted through fiber optics to the end of the arthroscope that is inserted into the joint. By attaching the arthroscope to a miniature television camera, the surgeon is able to see the interior of the joint through this very small incision rather than a large incision needed for surgery. The television camera attached to the arthroscope displays the image of the joint on a television screen, allowing the surgeon to look, for example, throughout the knee-at cartilage and ligaments, and under the kneecap. The surgeon can determine the amount or type of injury, and then repair or correct the problem (AAOS Arthroscopy Handout).

    Rotator Cuff Injuries, By understanding the mechanisms and factors that contributeto rotator cuff injury, this shoulder problem can often be avoided.
    http://www.titansupport.com/people/medical/rotate.htm
    Rotator Cuff Injuries
    We often hear how baseball pitchers are lost for the season due to injuries to the rotator cuff that often requires surgery. This shoulder problem is very prevalent among the general population as well, especially among the elderly. By understanding the mechanisms and factors that contribute to rotator cuff injury, this shoulder problem can often be avoided.
    The Rotator Cuff
    The rotator cuff is made up of mainly four muscles that help support and move the shoulder joint. These four muscles are supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis muscles. The muscles form tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, and are responsible for moving our shoulder front, up and back during regular daily activities. Lying over the tendons is a fluid-filled sac (shoulder bursa) that helps lubricate and cushion the shoulder.
    How Injuries Occur
    The rotator cuff can be injured in a variety of ways:
    • Fall on the shoulder when the arm is outstretched;
    • Excessive overuse of the shoulder;
    • High velocity trauma to the shoulder (i.e. car accident);
