Examples of this type of injury include a hockey player being driven into the boards and hitting his shoulder along the boards, a football player getting hit on the outside of the shoulder, or an athlete falling and landing on his shoulder with his arm by his side. I often see people suffer these injuries after falling off a bike and landing on their shoulder. In this video, I discuss the ways doctors make the diagnosis, including the exam and x-rays. I also explain non-surgical treatments and the process to regain motion and strength and return to sports. I also discuss when surgery might be necessary.
