What is a Shoulder Fracture?
A shoulder fracture occurs when one of the bones around the shoulder joint breaks due to an injury, fall, or accident. The shoulder is made up of three main bones:
- Clavicle (Collarbone)
- Scapula (Shoulder blade)
- Humerus (Upper arm bone)
A fracture in any of these bones can lead to severe pain, swelling, restricted movement, and long-term complications if not treated properly.
At KS Ortho Care, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis, advanced treatment, and complete rehabilitation of shoulder fractures.
Common Causes of Shoulder Fractures
Shoulder fractures usually happen due to:
- Falls – landing directly on the shoulder or an outstretched arm
- Road traffic accidents – sudden high-impact injuries
- Sports injuries – common in cricket, football, and cycling
- Osteoporosis – weak bones in older adults leading to fractures
- Direct trauma – from heavy objects or workplace injuries
Symptoms of a Shoulder Fracture
You may have a shoulder fracture if you experience:
- Sudden, intense shoulder pain after an injury
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the shoulder
- Difficulty or inability to move the arm
- Visible deformity or an abnormal shoulder shape
- Grinding or clicking sensation when moving the arm
- Weakness or numbness in the arm and hand
⚠️ Important: Do not try to move or adjust the shoulder if you suspect a fracture. Seek immediate medical attention.
