Loose bodies of the shoulder joint

 

 
Loose bodies of the shoulder joint have to be removed, because the lead to joint destruction and arthrosis of the shoulder joint. Routinely, they are removed arthroscopically. Loose bodies occur due to trauma causing cartilage defects or due to omarthrosis. Rarely, they are causing a blocking of the shoulder joint. Often, the patient recognizes a snapping and / or pain in the shoulder. Sometimes, the patient isn´t aware of any problems and the loose bodies are recognized coincidental to other diseases of the shoulder, when an x-ray or MRI is made.
