Shoulder Osteoarthritis (Omarthrosis): Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by omarthrosis (shoulder osteoarthritis):

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Arthritis (inflammation of the joints)
  • Movement restriction
  • Joint malpositions
  • Contractures – permanent shortening of the muscles with resulting joint constraint.
  • Schonhaltung
  • Cervicobrachial syndrome (synonym: shoulder-arm syndrome) – pain in the neck, shoulder girdle, and upper extremities. The cause is often the compression or irritation of spinal nerves (spinal cord nerves) of the cervical spine; most common causes are myofascial complaints (pain in the musculoskeletal system, which do not originate from joints, periosteum, muscle diseases or other neurological diseases), for example, by myogelosis (muscle hardening) or muscle imbalance of the cervical spine.

Psyche – Nervous System (F00-F99; G00-G99).

  • Insomnia (sleep disorders)

Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99).

  • Chronic pain
