To enable the shoulder's large radius of movement the shoulder joint does not have a hard skeletal structure. This loose joint receives its stability by a complicated system of muscles, capsules and ligaments that also makes it prone to injuries. The most frequent disorders of the shoulder are:
-
impingement syndrome
-
rotator cuff lesions
-
dislocations and luxations
-
calcinosis of tendons
further equally important disorders are
-
shoulder joint arthroses
-
arthrodesis (stiffening) of the shoulder
-
fractures in the shoulder area
