Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Shoulder pain is a significant cause of morbidity in manual labourers. Shoulder pain increases the financial burden towards health care expenses. Our aim was to study the spectrum of shoulder pathologies in manual labourers presenting with shoulder pain. It is a retrospective analysis of MRI shoulder study performed on 51 patients working as manual labourers in industries.In our study, Rotator cuff injuries are a major cause of shoulder pain, in about 78% of our patients, biceps avulsion in 2%, Shoulder dislocation in 5%, degenerative joint disease in 3%, labro-ligamentous pathologies in 8%, cervical rib/ clavicle fracture in 2% and metastasis in 2%.MR imaging of shoulder in manual labourers with shoulder pain is essential to make early diagnosis of the cause. After identification of cause of shoulder pain, appropriate early management can be instituted; so that the morbidity is decreased and there is early return to work. Plain radiograph can act as a useful screening modality in patients with shoulder pain.
