8 Types of Shoulder Surgeries
Common types of shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and arthroscopy for conditions like frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome. In general, these and other shoulder procedures help treat shoulder injuries by repairing or replacing cartilage, tendons and ligaments, muscles, and joints.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case–control study
Shoulder arthroscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for painful anatomical shoulder arthroplasty offering some therapeutic opportunities. It has been demonstrated as a sensitive option to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection and is most frequently used for this purpose. Additionally, it offers the possibility of diagnosing some complications after shoulder arthroplasty such as component loosening or rotator cuff failure. As therapeutic options are mostly limited to arthrolysis, and débridement and decompression, most patients will have to face a revision arthroplasty. Nevertheless, diagnostic arthroscopy provides a valuable tool to gain information on the cause of the symptoms to determine further steps of treatment.

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.”
Causes of Pain Between the Shoulder Blades
Pain between the shoulder blades is often due to muscle strain, which may result from lifting heavy objects, poor posture, or overuse. Other health issues can cause upper back pain, though, including acid reflux, disc problems, gall bladder disorders, or even a heart attack. Different disorders will cause different types of pain.
