Shoulder injuries

Shoulder injury patterns in children and younger patients are far different from adults because of skeletal immaturity. The open growth plates of children and adolescents make them particularly vulnerable to injuries. If the growth plates are fractured, it requires special surgical techniques to treat them. The shoulder of human is made up of three important bones: the scapula (shoulder blade), the clavicle (collarbone), and the humerus (upper arm bone). The shoulder joint offers high mobility but is only stabilizes by soft tissues such as: tendons, ligaments and articular capsule. High mobility provides mobility to the joint, but exposes it to a large number of injuries.

Fortunately, soft tissues and bone heal relatively quickly in children, so most often surgery is unnecessary, and immobilization and physiotherapy are the preferred treatment for shoulder injury. For this purpose, our pediatric shoulder brace FIX-KG-21 offering rotation 15°, 25° and 45° will work perfectly.

Purpose of use

– shoulder subluxation
– shoulder dislocation
– Little League shoulder
– shoulder instability
– the glenoid labrum injury
– shoulder surgery
– in conservative treatment (rotator cuff inflammation, shoulder subluxation or dislocation, humerus fracture)
