In most cases, the dislocated shoulder can be manipulated back into place by a doctor in a process known as closed reduction. When the shoulder bone is back in place, severe pain normally subsides. After treatment and recovery, a previously dislocated shoulder may remain more susceptible to reinjury, potentially resulting in chronic shoulder instability and weakness. https://bit.ly/2zmWDPv

An Achilles tendon injury is more common in people between 30 to 40 years old due to reduced blood supply, making them more prone to damage.

Golfer’s elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone on the inside of the elbow. It is a form of tendinitis of the elbow. Often mistaken for tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow causes pain and inflammation on the inside of the arm and elbow. Repetitive motions such as gripping, flexing, and swinging cause golfer’s elbow. #golferselbow #orthopedics

Foot fractures may be caused by falls, twisting, or direct impact of a foot against a hard object. Treatment depends on the bone fractured and the type of fracture but usually involves a splint or a shoe or boot specially designed to protect the foot. #footfracture #orthopedics
Proximal humerus fractures are most commonly seen in elderly patients with poor bone quality. This one is in a younger patient who has frequent falls due to medical comorbidity. These injuries are usually amenable to non-operative treatment with short term immobilization followed by course of progressive rehab. If there is significant displacement, they can require surgical treatment as seen in this case. This is usually done as outpatient. Due to severity of displacement, th...is patient was admitted and treated acutely.

Participating in sports places wear-and-tear on the body, and can lead to orthopaedic injuries. Athletes are susceptible to injuries that include stress fractures and chronic pain, as well as tearing or stretching of internal structures. Sports injuries are often repairable with arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to diagnose and sometimes treat joint injuries and disease through small incisions in the skin.
