What to know about deltoid pain
The deltoid is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion. Pain in this area may be due to issues like overuse or injury.

Frozen Shoulder and Menopause: Is There a Link?
Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining joint health and flexibility. A 2024 review suggests that reduced estrogen levels can lead to increased inflammation and changes in the connective tissues, which could make you more susceptible to conditions like frozen shoulder.
Understanding the Key Differences Between Abduction and Adduction
Abduction and adduction are shoulder and hip movements that occur in the body's frontal plane—an imaginary line that divides the body into front and back halves. They're essential for stability and injury prevention in your shoulders, pelvis, and lower back.
What happens to the elbow 15 years after a radial head prosthesis? A clinical and imaging long-term follow-up study.
Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has increasingly become the standard treatment for non-reconstructable radial head fractures, especially in young active patients where long-lasting function restoration is of paramount importance. However, long-term evidence of the results over time is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to document the long-term outcomes of RHA for acute radial head fractures.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case–control study
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
