Sports injury
Accident
Work-related injury
Congenital disorder

Shoulder

Consisting of two joints and three bones, the shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any part of the body and is very unstable – easily injured by impact or overuse.

Shoulder conditions include:

Rotator cuff tear
Shoulder arthritis
Shoulder impingement
Shoulder separation
SLAP tear (injury to the shoulder socket lining)
Traumatic shoulder instability

Elbow

The unique positioning and interaction of the three bones in the elbow joint allows for a small amount of rotation as well as hinge action.

Some of the most common injuries to the elbow include:

Bursitis
Forearm fracture
Osteoarthritis
Rupture of the distal biceps tendon
Tennis elbow
