Most Common Shoulder Injuries

Dr. Burns: Looking at the most common shoulder injuries again, I break it down by based on age, if we're talking under the age of 30, or 35. The most common shoulder injuries are either shoulder instability like dislocations, or AC joint problems with your collarbone hits your acromion and biceps problems that your biceps tendon goes up the front of your shoulder and that can lead to shoulder pain in younger people. As we get older, most common things are a rotator cuff pathology. And then as you get even older than that, maybe in the late 50s, early 60s, you started seeing more osteoarthritis where the joint is starting to degrade and the joint surfaces are causing more pain themselves.
