| | Shoulder |
 | | Frozen shoulder, or arthrofibrosis, is the development of a stiff shoulder in the absence of significant trauma. | | | Although arthroscopic shoulder stabilization is technically feasible, it is still in the developmental stage and not widely done, since the success rate for this operation has not been as high as for open stabilization, especially in active, athletic patients, and since the recovery is not significantly shortened by arthroscopic means. | | | The shoulder is a joint whose anatomy has the following important features from a clinical standpoint: (1) it is a ball and socket joint with a very shallow socket which allows a large range of motion but at the cost of the tendency to dislocate if the ligaments become injured. |

| | Hard shoulder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some motorways do not have hard shoulders at all (for example the A6144(M) and the A57(M)) and there are a small number of dual carriageway A-roads which do posess hard shoulders (for example, parts of the A1, A2 and A27). | | | A hard shoulder also allows some extra flexibility should a motorist need to take evasive action, as it is a buffer area between the main thoroughfare and the edge of the road. | | | In some cases, particularly on old rural roadways, shoulders do not exist or are made of gravel rather than hard asphalt or concrete. |

| | The shoulder's integrity is maintained by the glenohumeral joint capsule, the cartilaginous glenoid labrum (which extends the shallow glenoid fossa), and muscles of the rotator cuff. | | | Subsequent shoulder instability was significantly less frequent in the surgical group (relative risk, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.11-0.33), with half of the conservatively treated patients opting for subsequent surgery. | | | Background: Shoulder dislocation is documented in Egyptian tomb murals as early as 3000 BC, with depiction of a manipulation for glenohumeral dislocation resembling the Kocher technique. |

| | Shoulder Dystocia |
| | I believe that shoulder dystocia is not a soft tissue problem; thus the time spent cutting an episiotomy after the delivery of the head can be better spent performing maneuvers which have been proven to help resolve the true problem, which is the impaction of the shoulder behind the pubis. | | | Since shoulder dystocia is predominately caused by impaction of the fetal shoulder against the maternal pubic bone, and not the soft-tissue of the perineum, I have never been impressed that cutting an episiotomy is particularly helpful. | | | As shoulder dystocia (as referred to in European practice) is due to the shoulders being held up at the pelvic inlet then episiotomy will not help things UNLESS it is done to facilitate access for internal manoeuvres to rotate the shoulders or deliver the posterior arm. |
