Diagnosis of a Shoulder Injury

Most of the shoulder injuries can be diagnosed with the help of X-ray, whereas,  in certain cases,  advanced imaging techniques can be used.

Post operative care

Shoulder injuries take several weeks or months to heal and recover. Most of the shoulder treatments are either surgical or non-surgical. This makes the shoulder to be immobile for sometime which is followed by rehabilitation.

Small Joints

Wrist, fingers, elbow, ankles and foot are made up of complex small joints.

Fractures and arthritis of small joints can cause extreme pain and affect the movements of the bones.

Symptoms

• Inflammation/pain
• Weakness in the joint
• Swelling
• Stiffness

Diagnosis

X-rays help in determining the stage of arthritis and identifying fractures.

Blood tests can help detect rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis. Osteoarthritis is not related to blood abnormalities.
