Can some one explain what calcination of the ligament is? my friend has a shoulder blade problem

Question

my friends shoulder blade seems to pop out of place when trainin in the gym he has been for xrays and has been told its calcination of the ligament, i would like to ask on his behalf , what exactly is it and how would it have come about. could it have been as a result of a car accident some months before?

Answer 1

Calcification? of the ligament?

If the shoulder pops out frequently, the ligament is irritated a little at a time but often.  It is the body's natural reaction to accumulate calcium in a place that is frequently suffers low grade irritation.

This ligament is irritated each and every time it "pops out".  So it gathers the mineral 'calcium'.   Your friend needs to address the popping out of place issue in order to slow or stop the calcification issue.  The calcium is likely secondary to the displacement problem.

YES it could have something to do with a traumatic incident such as a car accident.  When in doubt....seek a second opinion from a qualified physician.  Perhaps a sports medicine specialist.

Answer 2

The ligament instead of being capable of supporting the structures it is attached to has become solid.  That means it is not capable of stabilizing the bones it is attached to.  The question is which one of the ligaments has this happened to?  He needs to talk to an orthopedic surgeon about what options are available to him.  He might be sent to physical therapy where ultrasound could be used to attempt to breakup the calcium deposits.  Yes the accident could have caused this.  The bleeding that took place was not absorbed in a normal way and it became calcified.

Answer 3

you mean it lifts off at the bottom? I can do that too.

Answer 4

Calcination has something to do with bone forming.
