Rotator cuff tears happen in the tissues that support your shoulder. Your rotator cuff is a set of tendons of four muscles that come together at your shoulder blade. These muscles wrap around the top of a bone called the humerus. This helps to hold the top part of your humerus in your shoulder socket.
Your wrist is a complex joint made up of many bones, allowing you to move your hand up and down, and side to side, as well as to rotate. A fracture can occur in any of these bones when enough force is applied—when you fall on an outstretched hand, for example. In this video, you'll find out other causes, as well as how a wrist fracture is treated.
Bursitis is an inflammation of a closed sac of fluid located near the joints called a bursa. When the bursa becomes inflamed, it causes joint pain and swelling. Learn about the causes and treatment of bursitis, as well as what you can do to help prevent its recurrence.
