A proximal humeral fracture is a broken bone that occurs near your shoulder joint. "Proximal" refers to being close to your body, and "humeral" refers to the arm bone known as the humerus.
Shoulder blade pain is usually caused by a muscle strain or a bone condition like osteoarthritis. It's not typically serious, but in rare instances, shoulder blade pain may be a sign of a severe condition, like a heart attack or cancer.
A rotator cuff tear is marked by damage to one (or more) of the four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Warning signs of a torn rotator cuff are typically felt in the shoulder area. Both partial rotator cuff tears and complete, full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) can make arm movements difficult and cause sharp pain or a dull ache in the shoulder that worsens at night.
Sling immobilization for 6 weeks after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair yielded improved sleep quality, decreased anxiety and increased satisfaction with similar clinical outcomes compared with abduction brace use, according to study data.
