Rotator cuff injuries in adolescent athletes

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2013
The cause of rotator cuff injuries in the young athlete has been described as an overuse injury related to internal impingement. Abduction coupled with external rotation is believed to impinge on the rotator cuff, specifically the supraspinatus, and lead to undersurface tears that can progress to full-thickness tears. This impingement is believed to be

Rotator Cuff and Biceps Injuries in Baseball

Clinics in Sports Medicine
Rotator cuff and biceps tendon injuries are a common source of pain and dysfunction among overhead athletes. The stress across the glenohumeral joint and its dynamic stabilizers in high level throwing leads to adaptive anatomic changes that must be recognized and respected. Nonoperative treatment is recommended for partial rotator cuff tears and biceps

Labrum and rotator cuff injuries in the throwing athlete

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2015
The large amount of force imparted across the shoulder during the act of throwing makes the glenohumeral joint highly susceptible to injury in the athlete performing overhead throwing motions. The bony incongruity of the shoulder enables greater range of motion than any other joint in the body, but it also results in significant strain on the ...

Rotator Cuff Tears and Associated Nerve Injuries

Orthopedics, 2000
ABSTRACT A series of 15 patients with concomitant rotator cuff tears and infraclavicular brachial plexus injuries treated between 1 980 and 1 989 were reviewed. There were 6 men and 9 women with a mean age of 65 years. Seventeen nerve injuries were identified, including 12 axillary nerves, 4 suprascapular nerves, and 1 musculocutaneous nerve.

Rotator Cuff Injuries in Professional and Recreational Athletes

Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances, 2013
Professional and recreational athletes involved in contact sports and sports with repetitive overhead motion are at increased risk for rotator cuff tears. Shoulder anatomy, pathology, and biomechanics place unique stress on the rotator cuff tendons during sports activity. Athletes demand effective treatment to quickly return to elite competition.

Nonsurgical Treatment for Rotator Cuff Injury in the Elderly

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2008
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint in the general population. The elderly population is often afflicted, and rotator cuff problems are among the most common causes of shoulder pain seen in primary care practices. The prevalence of shoulder pain in the elderly has been estimated to range from 21% to 27%, and the prevalence of rotator ...

Rotator cuff injuries.

Orthopaedic review, 1988
The rotator cuff lends stability to the glenohumeral joint and provides active motion. The cuff is susceptible to attritional disease, and as a result, injuries tend to fall into an age-related spectrum. Symptoms and treatment vary with the severity of the injury.

MR imaging of sports injuries to the rotator cuff

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2003
Impingement pain and rotator cuff injury are common in athletes, particularly in overhead throwers. The cuff can be injured in these patients in the typical location in the anterior supraspinatus tendon and near the junction of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. The cuff tears in athletes are usually small, articular surface partial-thickness
