Causes of shoulder pain and the Big Four

There are multiple joints and bones in the shoulder that connect with tendons and muscles to provide a wide range of motion in the arm. The tendons that keep the arm bone in the shoulder socket are called the rotator cuff, and this is where the range of motion comes from. However, problems may arise from such mobility. These problems may be temporary or continue and eventually require medical diagnosis and treatment. Professor Mohamad Imam, an exceptionally skilled orthopaedic surgeon specialising in upper limbs, talks about shoulder pain and ‘The Big Four’.
