The Most Common Rugby Shoulder Injuries



rugby how to play

Sprains or dislocations are two of the most common types of rugby shoulder injury. These are caused by a joint being stretched beyond its limits and can result in joint deformities. A player might also be unable perform simple movements. The injury may need surgery if it is severe.

Injuries to the acromio-clavicular joint (ACJ) also occur in rugby. This can be caused by a fall onto one's shoulder. A powerful impact can cause the ball of the upper arm bone to pop out of the socket, damaging surrounding tissues. In most cases, the dislocation is the outcome. Sometimes surgery is necessary to restore the ACJ's normal position.

Most rugby players will have at least one injury in their shoulder joint. However, these injuries are not necessarily serious and can be treated conservatively. Rugby involves direct contact with the ground and tackles. Knowing how to diagnose and treat injuries in rugby is crucial. Rugby players can learn more about the symptoms, and how to treat them.

A shoulder injury is when the collarbone or humeral head becomes detached from one another. This could be caused by overreaching or being addressed. Symptoms of a shoulder dislocation include pain, swelling, and the inability to move the arm. A doctor should be consulted as soon as possible to properly diagnose and treat the injury. The player should be removed immediately if it is suspected that a shoulder dislocation has occurred.


A direct hit to the shoulder can also cause a bruise on the joint or tear the surface. In most cases, the bruise is not significant, but it may indicate a more serious injury. It is important to take the injured player off the field and to send him to the hospital for the dislocation to be reduced.

Labral tears are another common type of shoulder injury. These injuries occur when the labrum is damaged, which is the cartilage edge around the shoulder socket. To restore stability to the joint, a surgical repair is often performed to repair a labral tear. Physiotherapy is often used for strengthening overstretched or injured ligaments.

It is also quite common for rugby players to suffer from bone fractures. The thumb, wrist, ankle and collarbone can all be fractured by rugby players. MRI scans are able to show the affected bone. Surgery may be required if the fracture is very severe.

A rupture of the pectoralis minor muscle is another type of shoulder injury. This is most commonly seen in young schoolboy players. Pectoralis major muscle tears are rare in professional players. Sometimes, a rugby player may tear the pectoralis major muscle in a scrum or fall directly onto the shoulder.

These types of rugby injuries can generally be treated with physical therapy. The player can resume playing once they have fully recovered. As with other sports, overuse of the muscles can lead to injuries. Rest and a brace can help prevent further damage.
