Common Shoulder Injuries in Sports
- Rotator Cuff Tears: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and help control shoulder movement. Rotator cuff tears commonly occur in sports that involve repetitive overhead motions, such as baseball, tennis, and swimming.
- Shoulder Dislocation: A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder blade. Shoulder dislocations can occur during contact sports, such as football and hockey, as well as during falls or other accidents.
- Labrum Tears: The labrum is a piece of cartilage that lines the shoulder socket and helps stabilize the joint. Labrum tears can occur in sports that involve overhead movements, such as baseball and volleyball.
- Biceps Tendonitis: Biceps tendonitis is caused by inflammation of the biceps tendon, which attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint. It is common in sports that involve repetitive overhead movements, such as swimming and tennis.
