Shoulder is an important part of our body that connects the head to the rest of the body and thus it is the most overworked part of all the body parts. The popular saying, “The weight of the world is on our shoulder”, signifies the heavy weights that we carry on our shoulders. We carry school bag, laptop bag or sports bag over the shoulder and this is possibly the starting point of various pain and muscles tears. Subscapularis is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff and is located in the front of the shoulder.
It is the most powerful muscles of all the rotator cuff muscles and it helps the shoulder joint to move and create powerful motions including internal rotation. Subscapularis Tears are generally rare. Most of the injuries of the shoulder include either supraspinatus tendon located at top of the shoulder or the infraspinatus tendon in the back. Traumatic events like a sudden fall are one of the main causes of Subscapularis tendon injuries. Surgery of the shoulder for its total replacement may sometimes leave the subscapularis with tear and wear.
The rotator cuff includes four muscles and is located at the upper end of the human arm. Its main function is to help the arm for lifting and rotating. Inflammation and pain of these muscles causes the Rotator Cuff Tear and injury. Some of the most common conditions that cause trouble to the shoulder joint include Rotator cuff tendonitis, tear and rotator cuff impingement syndrome. Treatments for this shoulder condition are available depending on the severity of the pain. Treatments for Rotator cuff tear involve rest, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, physiotherapy, steroid injections and surgery.
Initially doctors recommend rest and medicines to the patients with rotator cuff injuries. But in case of severe pains, surgery is suggested by the doctors.
