New York Shoulder Injury Lawyers

Common Shoulder Injuries

Most problems in the shoulder involve the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, rather than the bones.

The shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone)

The bones of the shoulder are held in place by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons are strong cords of tissue that attach the shoulder muscles to the bone and assist the muscles in moving the shoulder. Ligaments attach shoulder bones to each other thus providing stability.

The rotator cuff is a structure composed of tendons that, with associated muscles, holds the ball at the top of the humerus in the glenoid socket and provides mobility and strength to the shoulder joint.
