Shoulder Joint – Adhesive Capsulitis Treatment Methodology

Dr. Brijendra Singh, Dr. Niraj Garg

Abstract :

The shoulder joint is the most commonly dislocated large joint. Sudden violence applied to the humerus with the joint fully abducted tilts the humeral head downward onto the inferior weak part of the capsule, which tears, and the humeral head comes to lie inferior to the glenoid fossa. During this movement the acromion has acted as a fulcrum. The strong flexors and adductors of the shoulder joint now usually pull the humeral head forward and upward into the subcoracoid position. Posterior dislocations are rare and are usually due to direct force on the shoulder of the patient form front, the rounded appearance of the shoulder is seen to be lost, since the greater tuberosity of the humerus is no longer bulging laterally beneath the deltoid muscle. The subglenoid displacement of the head of the humerus into the quadrilateral space may cause damage to the axillary nerve, as indicated by paralysis of the deltoid muscle and loss of skin sensation over the lower half of the deltoid.
