Shoulder Fracture Injury
Shoulder fractures commonly involve the clavicle, neck of the humerus, and scapula. When a fracture occurs, the bones will need to be aligned to promote healing and restore arm movement.
There are three joints in the shoulder:
- glenohumeral joint
- acromioclavicular joint
- sternoclavicular joint
The main joint is the glenohumeral joint. The humeral head and the glenoid of the scapula make up the glenohumeral joint. The glenoid is the socket part of the scapula. The humeral head rotates in the glenoid. The humerus serves as the point of attachment for many muscles and tendons. The key one is the rotator cuff. Damage to any of these parts can create difficulty with the function of the shoulder.
Surgery may be necessary to secure alignment of the shoulder fracture. Recovery from a shoulder fracture usually requires physical therapy to improve range of motion and strength.
