Osteoarthritis deforms the shoulder joint, eventually causing pain, restriction of movement and a feeling of blocking. The pain is often continuous and increases after load and with changes in weather.

Biceps tendinopathy is an inflammation of the long biceps tendon, the tendon that connects the biceps muscle upward to the shoulder joint. It usually results from overuse where irritation and wear and tear processes occur. In the process, the damaged tissue in the tendon is unable to repair in time, leading to chronic inflammation.

When the tendons of the shoulder become chronically wedged between the roof of the shoulder and the upper arm, we speak of an entrapment (impingement) of the shoulder. This causes pain in the upper arm.

A tailbone cyst or sacrococcygeal cyst can develop at the level of the gluteal cleft. Often this does not bother you, but if the cyst begins to inflame, further action is necessary.

An groin rupture (inguinal hernia) is a protrusion of the peritoneum through the inguinal canal, sometimes into the scrotum. A thigh rupture (femoral hernia) is located slightly lower, in the femoral canal, and is more common in women. Thigh fractures are always operated on because of the increased risk of entrapment.

A scar rupture, also called an incisional hernia, occurs when the peritoneum bulges on the exact spot of a previous scar in the abdominal wall. This can occur in different places depending on previous surgeries. Some scar fractures are small while others can be very large and contain a lot of abdominal contents.
