What is a Shoulder Sports Injury?
Athletic shoulder injuries generally fall into two categories: acute trauma and overuse.

At Kinvara Hospital, we frequently treat:
• Rotator Cuff Tears: Fraying or snapping of the tendons that stabilize the ball-and-socket joint.
• Shoulder Dislocations: When the arm bone is forced out of its socket, often tearing the labrum (Bankart lesion).
• SLAP Tears: Injuries to the top part of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches, common in throwing athletes.
• Shoulder Impingement: Inflammation caused by repetitive overhead motion 'pinching' the tendons.
Accurate diagnosis is critical. Our specialists use a combination of physical 'stress tests' and advanced imaging to determine if the injury can be managed with rehabilitation or requires surgical stabilization.
