Question 1

what can i do to repair a shoulder injury, specifically an inferior glenohumeral ligament tear (ighl)?

Accepted Answer

IGHL: Depends upon extent. If just partial tear, consider rest, immobilization, nsaids, pt/modalities. If complete or more extensive, may need additional scope or open stabilization procedures if the glenohumeral joint is unstable with conservative attempts to heal.

Question 2

does superior glenohumeral ligament heal?

Accepted Answer

It depends.: Have yourself checked by a sports medicine shoulder surgeon. There are several entities within the shoulder that this can be confused with, so you want to make sure you're getting an accurate diagnosis.

Question 3

had mri and xray arthogram done on right shoulder. results noted: incidentally noted high attachment of the anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament.

Accepted Answer

Should be OK: "Incidental" implies that it was stumbled upon, but not likely to be a problem. This description is not a common finding on MRIs, and I'm honestly not sure of the clinical significance. This ligament provides stability to the shoulder joint and keeps the humeral head/ball from slipping forward out of the socket/glenoid. The ordering physician, if an orthopedic specialist, should help you interpret

Question 4

is it safe to  excercise with a ligament tear?

Accepted Answer

It depends: What ligament is involved, severity of the tear (small partial tear, high-grade tear or full tear), risks of further injury- these are all questions that should be asked and answered. Finally, now does exercise affect the involved ligament? For example, one can often ride a bike with a grade i medial collateral ligament tear of the knee as way to maintain cardio and rehab the knee.

Question 5

my acl ligament tear hasnt recoverd in 2 yrs.what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Acl tear dose not heal if it is rupture completely because the when it rupture it you rupture the blood vessels when you tear it.

Question 6

i have a partial ligament tear in shoulder, what is the fastest way to treat this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If only partial, then time should heal things with a minor injury in bout a month and a moderate injury in about two.  Maintain motion but avoid stresses.  Once pain is down work on strength and coordination.  If no response, get it checked again.

Question 7

reduce swelling in acl ligament tear?

Accepted Answer

Ice, rest, nsaids: If you have an acute injury with an acl tear, 
you want to get the swelling down both for
comfort and to perform a reconstructive 
procedure if it will be done.
Ice, rest and nsaids are the best ways to do
this. It usually takes 2-3 weeks unless the
fluid is aspirated.

Question 8

is there any cure to anterior cruciate ligament tear?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Acl tears that are partial typically heal adequately without surgery and rarely tear completely later. Complete tears never heal spontaneously but a rare person can function without reconstruction. Most require surgery to make a new ligament, as the only means to a "cure". Acupuncture, prolotherapy, herbals, organics, prp, therapy, etc never cure acl tears.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

What area: Anything from splinting to pt, to casting, to surgery. Need more specific info.

Question 10
