Rotator cuff with relatively more frequent but mild adverse events."" Surgery is often recommended for patients with an acute, traumatic rotator cuff tear resulting in substantial weakness. Surgery can be performed open or arthroscopically, although the arthroscopic approach has become much more popular. If a surgical option is selected, the rehabilitation of the rotator cuff is necessary in order to regain maximum strength and range of motion within the shoulder joint. Physical therapy progresses through four stages, increasing movement throughout each phase. The tempo and intensity of the stages are solely reliant on the extent of the injury and the patient’s activity
Posterior compartment of the forearm De Quervain's syndrome is a medical condition when the synovial sheath surrounding tendons in the first extensor tendon compartment becomes inflamed, so called tenosynovitis. The tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis run narrower due to the thickening of the synovial sheath, which causes pain when extending and moving the thumb outward. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel, which causes pain, numbness and tingling. The presence of an additional tendon may result in a condition called fourth compartment syndrome. Supernumerary tendons are common
