What happens during the disease - injury of unspecified muscle and tendon at shoulder and upper arm level
The pathogenesis of an injury to the unspecified muscle and tendon at the shoulder and upper arm level is likely due to a combination of trauma, overuse, and/or degenerative changes. trauma is the most common cause of this type of injury, and can occur from direct contact, such as a fall or blow to the shoulder, or from indirect contact, such as a sudden change in direction or a sudden increase in activity. overuse injuries can occur when the shoulder and upper arm muscles are strained due to repetitive activities, such as throwing or lifting, and can lead to inflammation and damage to the muscle and tendon. degenerative changes can also cause injury, as the muscles and tendons in the shoulder and upper arm can weaken and become more prone to injury as we age.
