What is Shoulder Arthritis?
Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. In an arthritic shoulder, the inflammation leads to cartilage damage and loss which results in pain and stiffness.
What is Rotator Cuff Surgery?
It is surgery to reattach/repair rotator cuff tear, a common cause of shoulder pain and disability in adults. The rotator cuff tendons cover the head of the humerus, allowing you to lift and rotate your arm. When one of the rotator cuff tendons is torn, the tendon no longer attaches to the head of the humerus, which will cause weakness in your shoulder.
What is a Dislocated Shoulder?
A subluxation or partial dislocation is when the head of the humerus is partially out of the socket (glenoid). A dislocation means it is all the way out of the socket. Both cause pain and instability in the shoulder.
What is Bursitis?
Bursitis or shoulder impingement is one of the most common
problems seen with the shoulder and a frequent source of pain. It results from a conflict involving the rotator cuff tendons, the bursa and the bones. It may also be called rotator cuff tendonitis or shoulder impingement.

Torn Meniscus
The meniscus is a wedge-shaped piece of fibrocartilage in your knee between the tibia (shinbone) and femur (thighbone). You have two menisci: the lateral meniscus on the outside of your knee and the medial meniscus on the inside.
Dislocated Knee Cap (patella)
The patella or knee cap is the small bone located in front of the knee joint. It protects the knee and connects the quadriceps muscles in the front of the thigh to the tibia.
