M75.8: Other shoulder lesions
There are 3 bones and 2 joints in the shoulder area. The bones are the collarbone, the shoulder blade, and the humerus. The shoulder joint connects the humerus to the shoulder blade. A second joint connects the shoulder blade to the collarbone. The collarbone is also connected to the sternum by another joint.
The shoulder can be damaged due, for example, to wear and tear or injuries. When the shoulder is damaged it can be painful. It may also be that you are unable to move your arm properly.
